Question about cordless phone battery

[UCLAN]

Yah,an eraser will also remove plating (used on many) and won't afford
any corrosion protection.

Plating? On the charging contacts? Never had that problem on any
of the phones I have had. *What* plated over *what* ??

Chrome over brass or steel.
I am putting this out-there...it's not for your benefit...but maybe
others.

I don't know the details here, but there is lots of plating out there,
even on very cheap stuff. I noticed when some batteries leaked.

We're talking about the contacts on the *outside* of the phone and on
the charging base, not the internal battery contacts. And don't most
cordless phones use plugs and pins instead of the ordinary battery
contacts?

I wasn't talking about the battery contacts either, but what the
leaking battery leaked on. And I'm saying there is lots of plated
things. I'm sure it's not limited to in the phone or out of the phone.

And don't most
cordless phones use plugs and pins instead of the ordinary battery
contacts?

I only addressed the topic of plating. But there defintiely are
cordless phones batteries that use contacts and not plugs or pins.

What is the point of quibbling about "most" or not when the OP only
has one phone and we don't know what kind he has.

Sure we do. It's a Northwestern Bell 36007. He stated so in his
original post. It uses a 3.6 volt NiCD cell and a plug/pin
connection.

Oh. I forgot about that because I don't keep track of such phones, or
look them up.
