As long as the batteries you have now are the same physical size (AAA, this is a cylinder 44.5mm long, 10.5mm diameter), then yes. These will also last significantly longer, since they have a charge capacity of 850mAh, a lot larger than the 550mAh you're replacing!

Yes, the voltage is the same and the storage capacity is higher (which is better).

Answer(s)
A.
Yes. The lower capacity of these cells (850mAh vs 930mAh) will mean that the battery life is slightly shorter though.

Q.
can I use these batteries in my phone?
My Panasonic phone says I need NiMH capacity 750 mAh batteries. These ones are the nearest I can find but they say 850 mAh. Would they be OK to use?

Yes! The mAh refers to how many times they can be recharged - so as long as they fit you can use them (I had to research this myself as I wondered the same thing)

Hi, thank you for your question.

I have looked into this and the AAA batteries that we have are http://bit.ly/swNeLs. The 550mAh refers to the amount of charge they hold. I am sorry we do not have one this low.

Answer(s)
A.
Thank you for your question.

After looking into your query I can inform you that NiMH is short for Nickel-Metal Hydride and is the type of battery. mAh refers to the capacity of the NiMH batteries and is rated in milliampere hours.
