Provided the battery physically fits where it needs to, and has a voltage which is the same or very close to it, there's no good reason why a battery of higher capacity shouldn't be okay. You'll even get longer operating time from the device.

Can you replace your rechargeable battery with one that has a higher aMh without damaging the camera?

Yes, it's no problem. a higher mAh should be preferable for use in your camera. "mAh" is A unit for measuring electric power over time, and is commonly used to describe the total amount of energy a battery can store at one time. A higher mAh rating means the (fully-charged) battery can power a device that consumes more power and/or for a longer amount of time before becoming depleted and needing to be re-charged. For example, a battery rated at 1500 mAh can power a device drawing 100 milliamps for 15 hours, or a device drawing 150 milliamps for 10 hours.

However, always ensure the physical dimensions and connectors of the battery are compatible with your cell phone to avoid any damage. Use caution and if unsure, consult with a professional.

A 2200 mAh (milliampere-hour) battery carries about 30% more charge than a 1700 mAh battery, but there may be other factors to consider in deciding which one is better for a particular use. A fully charged battery that is rated for 2200 mAh should be able to deliver, for example, 100 mA (milliamps) of current for 22 hours.
