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

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. 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.


I changed mine ages ago for 1.2Ah AAs and they've been fine.
