car battery power rating?
I have a car battery marked up 12v 72ah 680a which i think will need to be replaced. Obviously the battery must be 12V but my question is about the other 2 marks- can I fit a battery with higher ah eg 74ah and what about the 680a.
In non-technical language please can someone explain. - for reference the car is a 2003 Mondeo Diesel
Thank you for your assistance

If that battery worked fine then you can replace it with a battery that has the same or higher 72ah or 680a ratings, but if you go lower then you run the risk of not having enough power to crank your engine. Of course, you must also make sure the physical dimensions of the battery is the same so that it fits in your car...
