As long as the battery is 1-cell LiPo, same polarity and connector, >15C cont. discharge rate and fits mechanically it should be fine. Recommended is also to use a battery with a PCM (protection circuit). The PCM adds some resistance and thus degrades performance (max discharge rate) but if you know what you are doing it can be worth the trade if performance is important.

We did a flight time investigation you can have a look at to get a feeling of what flight time to expect vs. size of battery.
