In a Macbook late 2009 the battery is only 4600 mah. Can I safely replace it with a 5800 mah battery compatable with A1342 ?

I have a Macbook late 2009 unibody A1342. Would it be ok to replace a 4600 mah original battery with 5800 mah compatible one to my model? I think my original battery is 60w and the larger one is slightly higher wattage. The original battery is still performing normally but MacOS High Sierra drains it quickly.
