Bigger battery in APC UPS?

[hatrabbit]

I ordered a 12v 7.5 ah replacement battery for my APC BACKUPS 550, but the one that shipped was 9ah instead. Seems like a better battery to me but will it cause any problems?

If it's the same voltage I don't see a problem.

In agreement with @jay32267

However, I will ask about the source of the battery? Seller?

Anything else seem "off" about the battery, documentation, packaging?

The physical size and terminal placement are more important than the ah rating. The battery is very tightly fit into the UPS.
