I heard this about batteries from a parts guy. I cannot verify it is true, but it sounds logical to me.
If you have two batteries of the same physical size, the one with the highest AMP capacity will die first. The logic in this is that in order to get higher amps from the same size, they have to put more plates in the same space. In order to get more plates, they have to be thinner, the separators have to be thinner, and the whole assembly squished closer together to fit into the same space. This leaves less room for electrolyte (acid). It also causes the battery to get hotter as it is charged and discharged.
When I need a new battery I do not pay extra for more amps than my equipment specifies. If there is room for it, I will sometimes buy the next larger size, but I no longer chose the highest amp rating of the same size battery. I just buy the amp rating that is specified.
Once more, I cannot verify if this is true, but is does make sense to me.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
