My camera came with 1800 mAh NiMh batteries. Can I use higher 2600 mAh batteries or will they cause a problem?
Yes you can use any mAh rating higher or lower since the mAh rating refers to the batteries capacity. All AA size NiMh batteries are rated at 1.2V regardless of the mAh capacity. Higher mAh rated batteries will last longer between charges and allows for more photos before they need to be charged. 2600 mAh batteries should last about 40% longer in your camera between charges than 1800 mAh batteries. There is no advantage to buying lower mAh rated batteries other than a little lower cost and somewhat faster recharge times.
