Capacitors - particularly Electrolytics - are funny beggars. There are lots of other parameters other than capacitance and voltage that matter - things like ESR and AC cycle current. If at all possible, try to look up the exact specs for the brand of capacitor you are replacing, and use one that matches those specs as closely as possible - ideally the same brand.
Not all 680uF 6V3 caps are equal, and going for the cheapest you can find is rarely a good idea.
