Thanks. Sounds like I'm going Panasonic. Maybe I can make it to Fry's tomorrow. I still need to pick up rails.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I have the cheapest cordless phone from Radio Shack, and it's fine talking 3-4 hours in a day, and being off the cradle for days at a time with less talking.

pretty good, I don't talk on a phone a whole lot, but I have had a handset off the charger for 12+ hours and it looks ready to roll.
I don't talk a lot on the phone and I find they last for days off the handset. I've only lost one once because it died off the handset. There's also a battery indicator icon on the bottom of the screen, so you can tell when you need to charge them again.

Does it do multiple handsets and speakerphone and store numbers?

Nope -- just the last one. I'm just saying, so far so good on the cheap option. Anecdata, not a recommendation.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
We have had Panasonic phones for ages and have been good with them.

We have a nine year old Panasonic that may be starting to have issues. Or it may not, because I think we left it off the charger for four days, and once it was charged it worked fine. So we are a data point for good results with Panasonic, though this does not say much about today's models.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, I also recommend the Panasonics. In fact we bought the exact same multiple handset, speakerphone in the base type models for both sets of our parents.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
ita, I think still have my cordless phone from before I got my landline taken out, and I am pretty sure it meets all your requirements. Want me to dig it out of the give away pile and see?

Perkins, that would be great!
