Need Batteries? Phones Only Showing One Bar, Doesn't Stay Long.

The letters/numbers do not display. This is on all three handsets. Do I need new batteries? One for each phone set, or only one in the for the control device? Price for betteris, vs. complete new replacement phone system?

Batteries can be found here: http://www.batterybob.com/product.asp?intProdID=175515

They run about $13.

Replacing the batteries will be the cheapest solution. Only replace the phone system if it's busted or you want new features.

To prolong the battery life do NOT constantly charge them. That burns them out. Only put the handsets in the charger cradles when they get low. That will give you the most life.
