Can you increase the mAh of rechargeable batteries without causing harm to the motor they power In this case 2 x 1.2v AA 1600mHa increased to 2400mHa for hair clippers?

One option is to purchase rechargeable batteries that have a larger capacity. Rechargeable batteries that come with 2400mAh of capacity have a larger capacity because of their material properties. Increasing a batteries capacity would require chemical or mechanical alteration of the battery which can be very dangerous.
You may also increase the capacity of any battery by wiring it in parallel with another battery of the same voltage. In other words, connect the negative terminal of one to the negative terminal of the other, the positive terminal of one to the positive terminal of the other, and then connect both positives to the positive input of your device and both negatives to the negative side of your device.
Hi 720 & thank you for taking time to answer my question.
Having read your answer I can see that my question was somewhat poorly written.
What I should of asked was can I replace the rechargeable 1600mAh batteries that were supplied in a pair of hair clippers with 2400mAh batteries without causing any harm.
My concern being that the motor could possibly draw too much current and overheat or something along those lines.
Regards dm7
Ah, yes, if you keep the same voltage your circuits should not have any problems. Since the circuit load doesn't change and the input voltage is the same, there's no risk of drawing anything other than normal current! Ohms law tells us this: V=IZ or I=V/Z where Z is the impedance of your electronic device, I is the current, and V is the battery voltage. Capacity does not even come into play!

PS: I use batteries of different capacities in my digital camera all the time!
That's great & thanks, I will leave mixing compounds to the experts and buy ready made batteries in the morning - dm7

Best Rechargeable Batteries for an Xbox 360 Controller?
Rechargeable batteries are almost crucial for Xbox 360 players, as the AA batteries seem to die fast. While there are many on the market to chose from, one of the best is the Sanyo Eneloop rechargeable battery. Breakthrough technology has allowed these NiMH rechargeable batteries the ability to increase electrical capacity, reduce self-discharge, and maintain longer charge cycles. Most Xbox 360 players notice that they are able to play games longer on a single charge, compared to other rechargeable batteries.
How do batteries increase the efficiency of a hybrid car?
Batteries are rechargeable when you drive, so when you use batteries in a car it eases up on the gas consumption! The savings are very small overall due to the large initial cost. Many economists believe they are not cost effective.
How much are lithium polymer batteries?
Lithium-ion polymer batteries, polymer lithium ion, or more commonly lithium polymer batteries (abbreviated Li-poly, Li-Pol, LiPo, LIP, PLI or LiP) are rechargeable (secondary cell) batteries. LiPo batteries are usually composed of several identical secondary cells in parallel to increase the discharge current capability.
If your horse frequently exercises wich do you feed them increase protein increase carboyhdrates increase fat and increase glucose?
Increased Protein and increased carboyhydrates.
To increase amperage output using more than one batteries connect the batteries?
Parallel
Why increase in selling price doesnt increase profit?
It is simple that if the selling price is increased more then of cost increase then profit will increase but if selling price increased less then cost increased then there will be less profit or selling price increased in same proportion to cost increased then there may be no increase in profit. Besides that there may be so many other reasons for that.
What are you increasing by using more batteries?
technically speaking all you do is increase the voltage if the batteries are ran in a series circut and you increase amperage if they are ran in a paralell circut
In a closed circuit what does an increase in voltage cause?
an increase in current, hence increased power and increased heat.
If 8 is increased to 11 the increase is what percent of the original number?
If 8 is increased to 12, the increase is what percentage of the original number?
Does battery size matter in a flashlight?
The size of that battery can increase weight, but the size can improve burn time and brightness. Bigger batteries generally supply more power. If the volts are increased this increases the capacity for a brighter bulb. If the amps are increased this increases the burn time of the flashlight.
How do you wire batteries together?
In parallel to increase capacity.In series to increase voltage.What are you doing?
You want to take 25ams output you are having 16 Nos of 12V 8Ah batteries do you have to connect batteries in series of parallel connection?
Parallel or Series Connections for BatteriesTo increase current [measured in Amperes], you connect batteries in parallel. To increase voltage, you connect batteries in series.
