Bigger battery cause damage?

So my battery is crap, probably died completely 20+ times over winter. I hate going to the dealer for warranty..

Anyhow I bought a spare brand new battery off my friend that was for a 1997 suburban. I got it hooked up and strapped down just fine as the space in the trunk can fit basically anything.

Car is running great. Starts up amazing... Can play my stereo forever instead of 5min.

But does a bigger battery cause problems??

will not cause problems. the only thing is i'm sure that battery doesn't have the vent tube like the stock one does. so you'll be breathing in some nice sulfur while it's charging. lol

I use a very much oversized Red Top in my car and never have had an issue.
