Cars are not much more than rolling computers these days; much like a smartphone is more a portable computer than a phone.

Also, the new battery will not fix a parasitic drain issue that it seems like he's having (like others have pointed out on the 3-4 rekindled old threads he's posted on this same topic)

Congratulations! I do sincerely hope that the undersized and under capacity rated battery you installed brings you many years of trouble free service.

If/When your "Increased Battery Discharge while Stopped" messages appear again you'll know where to return to for troubleshooting advice.
When that happens I'd highly recommend creating a new thread instead of asking the same question on 4 older threads.

It will help others to help you.

I have 2013 550 and it came with factory installed H8. There was a CSB on the N63 back in 2014/15 including timing chain, valve stem, and specifically asked the dealer to upgrade to H9 105 AH due to battery draining issue. I believe this is also part of the class action lawsuit result.
