I need to replace the battery. It's 3.6V, 600mah. Can I put one with a higher mah like 700 or 800? I thought it would last longer between charges.

| Depends on the phone and how much physical space you have for the batteries. Many will only accept the battery made for the Phone. |

| As Jack said, your first concern is the size (it needs to be nearly identical). Next, you must use a battery of the same type. NiCads and NMH (nickel-metal hydride), the two most popular, are not interchangeable, as the charging requirements are different. lastly, keep in mind that a larger (capacity) battery will take longer to charge. |

yes size is so important. I took the battery out of my phone and took it to WalMart for replacement. I carefully checked the connection (which was sticking out of the box) and saw that it was the same. It never occurred to me to check the size. Guess what?
When I got it home it was too big for my phone. |
