Default NiCAD RX Battery…Can you have too much mah?

RX NiCAD Battery…Can you have too much mah?

I'm looking for the right size RX flight battery... I have a spare 1000 mah 4.8v JR battery and with my NexStar w/ 6 Futuba 3004's and 2.4Ghz fast RX I can make 6 12-15 min flights. I'm will be using 7 3004's and the same 2.4Ghz RX in my BH Models T-28 Trojan and I was thinking of:
4.8V, 1700mah Flat NiCAD Battery using Sanyo cells:
Length: 2.63”
Height: .675”
Width: 2”
Weight: 4.6 oz.

Can I go with a higher mah 4.8V, 2000mah Flat NiMH Battery using Panasonic cells?
Length: 2.63”
Height: .68”
Width: 1.72”
Weight: 4.7 oz.

God Bless and many Happy Landings,
