The battery should be O.K., the amps is actually Ah or ampere hours. A 10 Ah battery can supply 1 amp for ten hours, 0.5 amp for 20 hours and so on....Assuming it is fully charged.
I can't see why it would be a problem as long as it fits, the small gel battery on my TT600RE has an 8 Ah rating and runs from a 170 watt (max) alternator.

No problem whatsoever; you'll just have more juice in the battery. It's just the capacity that is larger, not the Volts.
Does it fit in the battery bracket? Provided you also have a kickstarter you could also use a battery with a lower capacity, the reason the batt on the 3AJ model is larger than on the older models is because it has elelectric start. Auke
