I made my 1st cell phone nimh battery last over 2 yrs. The people at the cell phone hut could not belive it, they gave me the replacement phone for free. I did condition the battery weekly, and that gave it the life.

Lipo/li-ion is much better. I have the 2 line 5.8 ghz panasonic at work. I had an older model for about 3 yrs, and finially got rid of it. Bought this newer model and I am not really impressed. 1 handset has already lost its "ring" and the range is poor (keep in mind I am in a metal building). I plan to get something in a different brand soon, but I need 2 line, and an answering machine too. I like the features and control of the panasonic though...
