mAh, milliampere-hour, is used as an informal measure of energy stored in a battery - the product of the current (in mA), and how long this current can be sustained (in hours). More mAh (or Ah) is therefore better.

The higher the maH is better in one respect as this number indicates the minimum amount of recharges you should expect out of its lifespan

yes the mAh means how much amp it can put out. so in terms of a mobile phone that is on standby that may only need one amp per hour a bigger mAh wold enable it to do that for longer

Can you use the battery charger from a 1050 mAh canon battery on a say 1300 mAh battery?

You can - but it will take a little longer to charge the higher capacity battery.


Can you replace an 860 mah with a 2000 mah battery?

No reason why not. So long as the physical size of the battery matches, and the voltage it delivers is the same - you should be able to replace it with the higher mAh battery.


Can a 110 mAh battery replace a 90 mAh battery?

Yes and no. The higher capacity battery will last longer, but you need to consider the charger. It depends on the design of the circuit.


Can you replace a 770 mAh with a 920 mAh battery?

mAh stands for milli ampere hour and it is a measurement of how many milli amps of current a battery is capable of producing in one hour. Yes you can substitute a battery with a higher mAh current rating provided you use the same battery voltage.


What kind of battery is in an electronic cigarette?

There are multiple battery sizes for electronic cigarettes. The batteries are measured in milliamps hour (mAh). Most batteries come in sizes 650 mAh, 900 mAh, 950 mAh, 1000-1200 mAh. The higher the mAh, the longer the battery will last after being fully charged. Therefore, if you have a larger mAh battery, you will be able to get a greater puff amount before having to recharge the battery.


Can you use a higher mAh when replacing a battery?

Provided the battery physically fits where it needs to, and has a voltage which is the same or very close to it, there's no good reason why a battery of higher capacity shouldn't be okay. You'll even get longer operating time from the device.


Will a higher-current rated battery ruin your laptop for example a 7800 mAh battery instead of a 6600 mAh one?

The number that you refer to is the ampacity of the battery. The higher the number the longer the battery will operate in the device. As long as the voltage output of the two batteries are the same it will not ruin your laptop.


In a laptop battery what meens Type D5318 rating and mAh?

D5318 IS THE STYLE OF BATTERY. MAH STANDS FOR MILIE AMP HOURS AND IS THE RESERVE POWER OF THE BATTERY, THE HIGHER THE NUMBER THE LONGER THE BATTERY WILL GENERATE POWER. OF MAIN IMPORTANCE IS THE VOLTAGE IF THE OLD BATTERY IS 11.1 VOLTS, THE NEW MUST BE THE SAME, NOT HIGHER OR LOWER

Can a 650mAh battery replace a 1000mAh?

Not a good idea. It will work but not as long as the 1000 mAh battery.


Can a 4400 mAh battery replace a 4700 mAh one?

Milliamps Hour (mAh) is important because it's the easiest way to distinguish the strength or capacity of a battery. The higher the mAh, the longer the battery will last. Batteries with different mAh ratings are interchangeable. If your battery is rechargeable then the mAh rating is how long the battery will last per charge. Milliamps Hour is 1/1000th of a Amp Hour, so a 1000mAh = 1.0Ah Think of a cars gas tank. Voltage is how much gas is being used, and mAh is the size of the gas tank. The bigger the gas tank (mAh) rating the longer the device will run. If your battery is rechargeable, then think of the gas tank as refillable (rechargeable).
