I have an old KX-T4027AL-W/AUS cordless Panasonic phone whose original
KX-A36A (3.6V ~400mAh) pack has been replaced with a much larger pack.
This particular model detects the battery voltage which means that the
talk and standby times are dependent on the mAh rating. The only
downside is that I can't get the battery cover back on, so I've had to
retain the pack with double-sided tape.
