Hello,

It is important to use the correct size and specification battery when finding a replacement.

If the battery does not have enough cold cranking amp then you could have starting issue. It might not start the vehicle or can have hard time starting.
If the battery dimension is incorrect you cold have fitment issue. Also if it is too tall it can hit the hood which can lead to issues.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
