Can you mix rechargeable batteries with different mAh ratings?
Using batteries in mixed configurations is ALWAYS a bad idea. Even if they are the same mAH, but from different brands or different ages they should not be used together. The issue is that you want all the cells to be depleted at about the same time so you take them all out.
Can you mix different battery brands?
A: As chemistries and voltage vary across both battery types and brands, we recommend that you do not mix batteries. For best results, replace all batteries with the same brand, chemistry, voltage, and size when the device performance becomes unsatisfactory.
Does the mAh matter on rechargeable batteries?
The mAh capacity rating refers to the storage capacity available for a particular battery. A battery with a capacity rating of 1800 mAh could deliver a current of 1800mA for one hour. Higher mAh ratings for the same battery type will generally mean longer run times.
Are batteries with different mAh interchangeable?
You can replace your battery with a slightly different mAh capacity, as long as it is the same voltage; we would recommend choosing your replacement batteries with the nearest possible mAh rating. It is not recommended to replace your batteries with a much higher mAh capacity.
Can I replace a battery with higher mAh?
Are all rechargeable batteries the same?

What are the components of a rechargeable battery?
Where typical single use batteries have alkaline, lithium and zinc components, a rechargeable battery uses Nickel Metal Hydride, Nickel Cadmium and other compounds to work. One of the biggest questions that get asked is whether a rechargeable battery can be used in place of a disposable battery in any device.
Can a disposable battery be used as a rechargeable battery?
One of the biggest questions that get asked is whether a rechargeable battery can be used in place of a disposable battery in any device. This is especially true for RC units and other devices that have a high power drain.
Can you mix rechargeable batteries with different Mah?
All of my older batteries are rated at 1850mAh and I bought a bunch of new ones that are all rated at 2500mAh. Can I mix these two batteries with each other in the devices I use?
