Default Rechargable batteries for DECT cordless phones - is there a problem with getting too high a mAhr rating?

o.uk...
The bog standard rechargeable batteries (750 mAhr) in our DECT phones are
starting to lose their ability to hold their charge: they indicate full
charge but the phone cuts out with "low battery" within a few minutes of
being taken off the charging base station, especially if used on
speakerphone.

Is there a problem with replacing them with batteries that can hold more
charge ie 750 mAhr.


My Panasonic KX-TCD735ALMs don’t care tho they
do say not to use 750 mAhr.

I presume the phone will still charge them at its standard rate (though it
may take longer to charge them).


I will go for branded (eg Duracell) rechargeable batteries.


I presume that if the original batteries are NiMH, I should go for that
same technology.


Mine does say to only use NiMH or NiCad, I use eneloops.
