I'm having trouble finding replacement recharcheable batteries for our Sony DSCP31 Cyber-Shot Camera. I was wondering If using a battery with a higher mAH rating would harm the camera?

I appreciate it A D U, It's been 3 years since I've had to get rechargeables for our little digital cam and I really needed that crash course on the batteries again. You'll be getting the 10 points for this one when it lets me. :)

it will not harm the camera, the mAH rating on a batter refers to battery life. so a battery with 2500 mAH will actually last longer (not very significantly, however) than your 1750 mAH batteries.

Yes you can. what 2500 mAH means is simply this. you can drive 2500 mili-amps of current through an electrical circuit for 1 hour.
17500 mAH means 1750 mili-amps of current through an electrical circuit for 1 hour.
It is a measure of the energy that your battery can provide.

Yes, it works, and as you'll have to charge it less frequently, you'll need less energy.
