YES you can. the mah is just the battery's capacity. It will actually last longer than your old battery. It will just take longer to charge it. Just make sure that they are the same voltage...

Can you use the lithium ion battery 3.7V 1100mAh to your cell phone lg 3.7V 1000mAh?
No problem to use the 1100mAh in place of the 1000mAh battery. Mah is like store rooms that have varying sizes. As long as the voltage remains the same (the doors of the store rooms are of the same width and height), the battery with a higher mAh can be used.
Can you use a 800 mAh instead of a 750mAh rechargeable battery in a telephone handset even if the instructions say replace only with a 750 mAh MHIC unit?
Yes....... But........ 750mAh and 800mAh are the capacity of the battery. More capacity means more power. The handset always assumes that the proper batteries are inserted. If it was designed for 800mAh then the handset puts a charge of 800 into the batteries. If a 750mAh is inserted instead, it will overcharge the batteries. Overcharging is not good for batteries. Each overcharge will lessen the life of the battery. The batteries may heat up too much which could be dangerous. In the vice versa case it might happen that the 800mAh batteries are always charged only upto 750mAh, giving you the same performance and not better. So it completely depends on the way the handsets are designed.
Can you use a larger battery in a cell phone or will it burn it up?
If, by 'larger battery' you mean one with the samevoltage but higher capacity - there's no reason why not. It will simply take a little longer to charge it. I swapped my 3.6v 600mAh battery for a 3.6v 1000mAh battery a long time ago - and the phone still works perfectly well.
Can you use a standard car battery instead of a leisure battery in your motorhome?
Yes
Can you use baking powder instead of baking soda to clean battery post?
no
Can you use 2032 battery instead of 2016 battery in remote?
Yes, you can use it if your device has a compartment big enough to hold it. The 2032 is twice as thick as the 2016.
Is it safe to use a 1500ma instead of 500ma battery?
As long as the batteries are putting out the exact same voltage, then yes you can use a battery with a higher ma rating.
What if you use 2.4 V battery instead of 3 V rated DC battery in your shaver?
The shaver will run a bit slower.
Can you use a 1400 mAh instead of a 760 mAh in a camera?
can use 1400mah battery to replace 760 mah
Can you use a C battery instead of D battery?
Yes you can use C-cells ... they are the same voltage BUT, they will rattle around and loose contact. Your best bet is to get some more D-Cells.
Can I use a 3.7 v 750mah battery in place of a 3.7v 650mah battery?
It is always best to replace batteries with identical batteries. However if the replacement battery has the same voltage and the same physical construction (so it will connect electrically) it can usually be used as a replacement. The mah rating (capacity) only says how long it takes to charge and how long it will run between needing a charge. However some charging circuits might experience problems if this rating is significantly different from the original.
Can you use a 12 volt car battery instead of 8.1.5volts dry cell batterys?
Yes, that is acceptable.
