Battery replacement question...

It's time for a new battery for our 3400. Our last battery was from Wally World and it was a 12V deep cycle 27DC-6 with 720 Marine Cranking and 600 cold cranking.
They were out of those but had the same type with 650 marine cranking and 500 cold cranking. Just wondering if it makes a difference whether we get a slightly lower rated battery.

We don't ever boondock, and the rig stays in na seasonal CG.

Thanks, jp

Based on your usage I would say the slightly lower rated battery is just fine

Had the same situation last Jan as we prepared to head South. NAPA didn't have the larger battery so got the lighter one. The only time I notice a difference is lifting with the legs. It is slower. Oh yes, it is also lighter and easier to get in the battery box. Working just fine for the last 7 months.
