Any issues using a 850cca / 80 ah battery?

I just picked up a battery from advanced (one of their Platinum line ones) and went with the 850cca but just realized it only had 80 amp hours.

Is there going to be any issue with the 80ah rating ( vs 90 or 92) that I need to consider?

TIA.

edit - to be on the safe side I exchanged the battery for the 900cca / 92ah option mentioned in the "new m3 owners" thread.

Probably fine. I see you're in Georgia which isn't going to see extremely cold temps where you need all of the juice you can get. Bigger batteries are always preferable but at a certain point it becomes diminishing returns. 800-900 CCA will be fine.
