Hi . I have a BT8600 DigitalCordless Phone , I,ve had it quite a few years and want to change the batteries ,

the instruction booklet says it 2 x AAA Ni-MH 750 mAh rechargeable batteries , but the nearest I can get is the

800 mAh , Tried a couple places but nobody seems to have the 750, so will the 800mAh be safe enough ?

@Keith19

Welcome to this user forum for BT Retail phone and broadband customers.

Yes, 800mAh will be just fine.

Thanks for the tip that the back can be removed. I was afraid that it was a sealed unit. I have now got the back off and replaced the batteries with a couple of 750 mAh rechargeable batteries that my local hardware store sold me. (They were Duracell so a bit pricy, but the old ones lasted for years.)
