For the past 6 years I had a 34/78 red top optima in my car with 800CCA. It recently died. So I decided to put a 34/78 Yellow top in because I have an aftermarket stereo system with amp. The Yellow Top only has 750CCA wich prompted me to research what type of battery is needed for my car. The only thing that the owners manual says is 12V, 88ah. So my question is, is it ok to put a battery in my car with high CCA, but lower Ah than suggested in the manual? The optima has 55ah.

Thanks for your help! and Yes, cost is a concern.
