Mah Rating In Li-ion Batteries

[prakashkadam 1]

Hi all,

Can I use higher mAh rating Li-ion batteries in my phone? For eg. my phone (LG 5340) has 800 mAh battery, can i use 1000mAh battery coming with LG 6230 in my phone. Just to increase the battery usage life.

I guess you can, as long as current & voltage ratings are identical.

Otherwise, Li-Ion are very sensitive & delicate and they could even blow up iwhen wrong charging current is applied.

You can defenitly use but check whether the higher rated battery will fit inside the phone

thank you, but how do i check the current & voltage ratings?

voltage rating is strictly 3.7 volts for most phones and current rating can vary anywhere between 600~1400mAh. Using a higher current battery does not give any problems with the same charger but may take a little more time to get charged than the lower rated battery.

By the way which handset are u trying to do this?

With LG handsets I have seen that 800mAh battery in 5340 is having the same size of 850mAh battery of 6130, which my brother have, i have to check the 1000mAh battery in 6230 for size.
