In reality, the only real significant ELECTRICAL difference is that some of the older batteries are 6 volts and more modern automotive batteries are 12 volts. There are, of course, quite a few electric vehicles that use 24, 36 or often higher voltage.
Other than that, most 12 volt automotive batteries will function in most vehicles that take 12 volts.
The important part is that you somehow make the battery FIT, and that it has sufficient amperage to operate the starter.
Naturally, the battery that has been engineered for the vehicle will function best, but if you use a battery that's a different size, it will work.
