Christopher,  I am not an electronics wiz by any stretch of the imagination, 
but don't mismatch the amperage.  It's bad.

Look at the battery pack you're trying to replace and see what the amperage 
output is and don't exceed that.

I'm sure the knowledgeable guys will be along shortly to answer your 
question correctly.
