Yes Gordon - its the voltage that matters, not the current.

It will work fine, but will need a closer eye kept on it.  The higher current rating of the 5A one might cause the battery to fully charge a bit faster.  If it is a smart charger with the ability to sense when the battery is fully charged, no problem.  If it is a "dumb" charger, a little caution is good.
