I'm sure it works perfectly as a replacement.

There is a trade-off between battery life and capacity, though. The
increased life comes from thinning the battery's layers to make room for
more of them. Whether or not that's a good thing depends on how much
the battery costs versus how much you dislike lugging around extras.
