content: I have to agree that the battery life leaves a little more to be desired. I bought the system, with 5 extra handsets, and I found myself switching handsets mid-conversation. I did charge for 15 hrs b4, and no luck. I bought all new batteries at a battery store, and have had great great working time since. The phones, wow, intercom, monitor, pager, and it works with the booster feature to the corner of the street. They also work as 2 way radios away from the base. I am sold on the product, Loved it since replacing the battery.
