Hi Wayne - As long as the HD battery will fit the battery shelf and clip in securely it will be OK.

Yes just a higher normal working capacity battery, a 55ah battery in theory should supply 55 amps for one hour or 1 amp for 55 hours, so an extra 5 ah of capacity is just a benefit, it can't cause any harm as long as you don't short it out, because then most car batteries are actually capable of supplying between 300 and 400 screwdriver melting amps<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
