I have a device that says it takes a 23A, 12V battery. I ordered a new battery and was mistakenly sent one with 27A and 12V - same voltage, higher current. Is it safe to use this battery in the device, or will it break things?

Apologies for what must seem like a noob question; I'm not an electronics person. I have found [a very similar question][1] but it talks about capacity instead, and I'm not 100% sure whether that changes the answer or not.
