My father has taken to removing his telephones off the hook to keep them from overcharging or from developing "memory" problems. I've tried to explain to him that this is counterproductive and that he may actually be reducing the lifespans of his batteries by sucking the battery power when they're already low.
He's got about ten phones throughout the house and it's not a huge house. I'm just getting tired of picking up phones that aren't set in their charger stations, then getting "beeps" every 15 seconds about five minutes into a call. He won't take my word for it, so I thought I'd ask here to see if someone could explain how things have changed from the old ni-cad phones of two decades ago.
