Replacing DECT cordless phone batteries?

My Philips Kala cordless phone batteries need replacing. It is fitted with 2 x AA 1.2v 600 mAh NiCd batteries and the handbook says only AA



600 mAh rechargeable batteries should be used as replacements. I have some AA 2000mAh Ni-Mh batteries and was wondering if it would be ok to use them in this phone?

The technical specifications say: Power Supply Handset : 2 x AA/LR6 1.2 V 600 mAh NiCd Base : 8V DC / 250 mA Output 1 6.5V AC/ 95 mA Output 2

It is perfectly OK, the charging circuitry is quite crude and although the battery life might be slightly reduced it is unlikely to be noticed.

They should be fine.

I tried this with a BT Diverse phone (Siemens) which had the same dire warning.

The batteries never stopped charging. I took them out when the phone got almost too hot to hold.

I guess, if the batteries are just lying around then it's probably worth a go.
