My battery pack wore out on one of my cordless phones so I went to buy a new one and they are around 20 bucks /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif. It's simply 3 AAA NiMH's in shrink wrap with a connector. The thing is, the battery packs are all 3.6V and around 720 mAh. Seems to me I could just take 3 AAA NiMH at 800 mAh each and make a battery pack with 2400 mAh instead of 720 and it would cost much less too. Is there any reason this wouldn't work, would it ruin the charger in the phone base having such a higher capacity battery pack to charge?
I know homemade battery packs have been discussed a lot here but I couldn't find anything in a search about this particular issue. tia
