6v rechargeable battery question

[electricalkid]

Need to replace the solar rechargeable battery in the siron box of my alarm system From the retailer who supplied the alarm I can get a replacement but Maplins seem to sell them for 50% less - question the battery from retailer/manufacturer states it's a 6v 1.3Ah (whatever that is ?) Maplins have 6v batteries showing either 1.0 Ah or 1.2 AH - question does anyone know if a 1.0 or a 1.2 will work, and if you want to educate me can you tell me what Ah means. Thanks -

AH is the capacity of the battery. 1.2AH should be OK as a replacement. just it wont last aslong as the 1.3AH but since itll cut out after 20 mins anyway it wont make much difference
