Can I use a battery with lower amps?

I have Cooper S 2009 R56. My original batter is 570 CCA and 70 Amp Hour. I need a new battery. I called MINI and they told me the CCA should be at least 570, but the Amp should be exactly 70. If it's higher, some components might draw (accidentally) more current and burn wires or components. If it's lower, the computer might think that I have a weak battery and the car won't even start. I couldn't find anything online that would confirm this information.

So, can I use a battery with lower amps? I found a battery with 650 CCA and 60 Amps, but it seems that I cannot use it?

I have a lot of Samsung and HTC chargers from every one of the telephones I've had throughout the long term. Enough that I have these chargers put all through the house in any spot I might have to charge a telephone or gadget, and travel with the HTC/Samsung chargers. I saw the HTC and Samsung chargers put out 5V at 1.0A, but the LG charger that accompanied the telephone puts out 5V at 1.2A. Assuming I utilize the current chargers putting out 1.0A, might I at any point harm or decrease the existence of the battery in my new Hot Nexy?
