It has happened to me. We have a Panasonic cordless phone and were in the habit of putting it back in the cradle when we were done. It got a memory so that it retained only about a five minute charge. Had to buy a new battery and a second phone so that one would still have a full charge while the drained one is recharging.

Apparently cordless phone batteries are only expected to last about a year with regular use. We got two years out of our Panasonic battery, and the replacement was only $19. We did nothing special in terms of running the battery down on purpose, but now and then it did run all the way down to the point where the phone failed. The first charge on the new battery should be for 24 hours or more, uninterrupted (I'm told).
