Hi
Presumably there are 4 1.5 Volt cells in the phone that are connected in se=
ries. 4 * 1.5 =3D 6, voila.

The mAH is a rating of how much current the battery can supply for how long=
:

 'milli Amp Hour'

 Get the highest rated you can find/afford; though the rating on the Chines=
e knock-offs--I think most of them are--seems to be overstated.  The load--=
how much current will be used--is determined by the circuit on the phone.

 The statement on the charger makes no sense; applying 6V to a 1.5V battery=
 would cook it in short order (putting 48V on a car battery would boil the =
electrolyte; creating a major mess and possibly an explosion).  I suspect i=
t's a nominal rating; i.e. it will put out 150mAH at 6v, but only needs abo=
ut, oh, 2V or less to charge the batteries and would supply 450mAH at that =
voltage.

 E (voltage) =3D I (current) * R (resistance).  Plug in any 2 known values-=
-and use a little algebra if necessary--and you'll get the third.

The string on 1.5v recharging demonstrated that some of you gurus are multi=
talented(sp?). So............

The batteries in our domestic cordless phones are giving up.

They are AAA Nickel Metal Hydride 550mAh.

Looking on eBay, most similar rechargeable AAA phone batteries are around 1=
500mAh. Nothing less than 700mAh.

Can I stick in the highest rated that I can find, 1800mAh, and expect good =
results? Or does the higher mAh level imply some level of something that th=
e phones=92 chargers won=92t manage???

(The charger says =93Output: 6v. 150mAh=94)
