I have the car listed above the old battery went bad it was a 500 volts so I went and bought a brand new battery, but it's a 700 volt battery. Do you think it's going to hurt the car or do you think it's going to be okay?

A 700 amp battery is fine as long as fits correctly in the battery tray and the terminals are in the correct orientation.
