C450AMG battery replacement
My 7 year old battery (stock Mercedez OEM battery) is ready to give up the ghost - getting the "Stop Vehicle: Leave Engine Running" alert constantly - within 30 seconds of startup.
Bought a replacement Interstate H6 AGM-type battery at Costco. It has a rating of 760 CCAs versus the OEM battery with has a 800 CCA rating.
I noticed the battery is physically a bit smaller.
Should I be worried about this at all? The dealer wanted nearly $500 to replace the battery which I laughed at.

Just did it last weekend, Installed H6 AGM battery from Costco (H7 was not available and would fit perfectly) , H^ is a bit smaller. No issue installing (disconnected, reconnected) and securing it.
