i replaced the original 600 cca batter with a 700 cca. Is this bad for the car, specifically the starter...can it burn it out? are there any other concerns?

Thanks.....

The CCA is only for cold cranking which the starter needs to operate effectively during a cold start. especially in freezing weather conditions. The higher the CCA the better it is. You can go with a 750 if you wish.
