55Wh vs. 60Wh?

My original battery finally died after 3 years so I bought an off-brand replacement battery for my MacBook. I thought I ordered a 55Wh battery, but it's a 60Wh battery. Is this a big enough difference to harm my computer? Thanks for the help!

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.6.6)

Voltage and physical parameters (connection, size, fit) are the only factors that you need worry about.

Additional Watt-Hours will only be to your benefit, as the charge cycle will last a bit longer.

As battery technology increases, so does the Watt-Hours that can fit in any defined space. As long as the physical fit is correct, the connection is correct, the voltage correct, you are just experiencing an improvement in battery design.
