The TS44 Deluxe & Pro seem to be bug free. True they don't have the 3V cell, but my Deluxe doesn't suffer from the problem mentioned by Tom N.
Once the 9V wears out, open the unit, replace the battery and you're good to go.

The TS45S I'm using now has no problems either.

Ok, the operation was a success. Now I'll do the same to the other one.
...except when I go off hook the dialtone is low...
I had that problem too. What I found is that you need to be careful about how you reassemble. I had the rubber gasket that fits between the receiver element and the housing on the transmitter assembly by mistake. It seems that if the receiver is not sealed to the housing by it you get low volume for some reason. Hopefully something like that is causing your problem.

When I replaced the battery in my TS22AL I went to Radio Shack and bought a 2032 (3v) battery socket and soldered that in on the circuit board. Next time it goes out it will be a simple open the phone and out with the old in with the new and I will be ready to go.

I considered doing that but as far as I know nobody makes a battery holder that has the same footprint as the 2032 battery with tabs. The board has three plated through hole locations for the battery, the battery holders only need two in a straight line. That means modifying a double sided board that has the entire area under the battery on the component side as a solid copper plane connected to the (-) side of the battery. The (+) side is fed through to to a trace on the bottom of the board. Certainly could be done but to me would be too unreliable because there is no pad to hold one end in place. It's easy enough to desolder and replace the battery as long as the conformal coating is removed where it needs to be. But just that fact means that the butt set is not as weather resistant as it once was, really the conformal coating should be touched up (which I didn't). A battery holder makes that impossible and is a point of failure.

The question is more important than the answer.
