Regular AAA batteries for a mod?
I was wondering if you can use any kind of rechargable batteries as long as it's the right size, or does it have to be the ones you can only find on mod e-cig websites? Also, can you use ones with a different mAh? My Spade came with 2 triple AAA sized batteries that are 600mAh, so can I use 800mAh? And last question: Can you use any kind of rechargable battery charger?

Alkaline Non-Rechargeables are 1.5 volts
NiCad and NiMH rechargables are 1.2 volts
The Lithium batteries you got with the spade are 3.7 volts
If you can find another lithium battery that is AAA sized and listed at 3.7 volts it will work
- no matter what the mAh rating is - bigger is better for discharge rating and how long you can vape without a battery swap.
- protected is "safer" then unprotected - the battery is internally protected from over discharge / over charge / over temp / polarity issues.
You can use any Lithium Ion compatible charger. If you try to use a Nicad charger it won't put out enough voltage per cell, and may damage an unprotected Lithium (protected one should just sit there, do nothing, and look at you funny).
Hope this helps,

The Spade comes with the highest rated AAA batteries that I know about. The 600mAh rating is a misprint, they are really 350mAh.
