Something to note - changing out the battery also fully reboots the car. This often clears software glitches leading to "increased discharge while parked". Lots of people think a new battery was required, when all that was required was the reboot. "Increased discharge" is NOT a battery condition related message.
Regardless - if I were in your shoes, I would just recode for 95Ah. Do not re-register, just code.
I have not replaced my battery yet. It has been replaced once under warranty so it is not the factory battery. Threads online say one needs 61217592923 to upgrade from 95 to 105 on pre-LCI. I already found that I had 61217592923, and there were multiple threaded locations to attach the bracket. I'm guessing, but I expect those are the locations for the three typical sizes 80Ah, 95Ah and 105Ah. Not guaranteed.
I am thinking about getting the larger battery, as long as the supplier will agree to exchange for the normal size if I cannot get the hold down to work properly. (I buy from some small guys, not a big box store)
I looked at the RO from my warranty replacement and they didn't indicate they supplied a 61217592923, but I can't be 100% sure I had 61217592923 from the factory. I could easily see the part# with a flashlight though so it is easy to check.
