Cordless phone batteries? AAA ni-mh 550 mAH?

Question

Our batteries in our cordless phones are pathetic and hold hardly any charge conking out in the middle of conversations. I saw some today in a phot shop to replace them. They were AAA NI-MH like the ones we've got , but the ones in the shop were 100 mAH where as ours state 550 mAH. Is there a difference? Do I need to get the exact same mAH? Is a higher one better? Help!

Answer 1

a high mAH battery will last longer. I just bought an 800 mAH battery for my Uniden phone from http://cheapipodbatteries.info/ipod-ipho... for $0.99. Much better prices than target!

Your phone should have a built-in charger so using rechargable AAA batteries is probably extra work for no additional gain.

Answer 2

Yes the person below me is correct about the battery you have now being the better battery. The higher the Mah the better. You can get new batteries for a really low prices from http://www.needbattery.com

Answer 3

550 ma. is better than 100...however on an 'AAA' 1.2 volt re-chargeable, that won't last long either.. If you can find a higher ma. battery, get it.. HOWEVER, it may not fit, or be the right size to use in your cordless phone. (Next time you buy a cordless phone, get one with a higher voltage, or larger battery, I use one that has 1200 ma. and lasts quite a long time.) I use a 3.6 Volt battery in my Panasonic.!!
