Default reparing battery pack

When I rebuild my drill battery pack with new C nicads do I have to stay
in the same mAh rating. The originals are 1300mAh, I can replace them
with 2300mAh cells with tabs. Or even 4000mAh ones. Will more mAh hurt
the drill?

No, the higher maH means the drill will run longer on a fully charged
battery. Keep an eye on the charger overheating the first few times
you use the new pack as it will draw a little more current from the
charger and will also have to charge longer to fully charge the higher
capacity batteries.
