OK, so I putt the set out of storage, and the handset is completely dead. Not charging, not anything.</p> <p>I bought a new battery off ebay for &pound;5, but the new battery had a two wire connection, the old had a three wire connection... I dissected the old battery, and saw that the third wire was connected to the negative wire using a resistance on the wire...&nbsp;</p> <p>Anyway, I connected the battery with only the two wires, but it&#39;s not charging. The little charge that is in the battery makes the phone work, and it also works without a battery when it&#39;s in the dock, recharging...</p> <p>The wires are now connected to the old 3 wire connector, since the 2 wire connector that came with the new battery didn&#39;t fit. The wires from the battery are connected as follows:</p> <p>If the Beocom 6000 headset is on it&#39;s belly, keys pointing down, and the battery end facing you, the first is red wire, the second (middle) black wire, the third is now empty.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Is there any way of sorting this out, or is my only option getting a B&amp;O battery? Or can my dock/charging station be broken? It must be giving a current, since the Headset lights up without a battery connected to it.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks in advance!</p> <p>Andreas</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
