battery capacity

here I am wondering if the replacement battery (Powwer NB1LH) I bought for my Canon Powershot S230 will work, because it says 1400 mAh on it instead of 700 mAh like the original Canon battery. Then I realize: mAh !== mA. mAh is milli amp hours, a measurement of battery capacity, so bigger is better. (Battery Capacity chart). The replacement was $6.95 at batteryheads (Canon sells theirs for $59.99 and warns about third party batteries exploding).
