F22 Battery Registration

Hey all, sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place.. I'm new here after lurking for so long.

I'm planning on swapping out the original battery (900 CCA, 160 RC, 90 AH) with an H8 EverStart Platinum from Walmart (900 CCA, 160 RC, 95 AH).

I've seen it's possible to register the body with the Foxwell NT510 scanner I have. However, one of the registration steps asks if I'm replacing with a same AH capacity battery or with a higher/lower AH capacity battery.

My question is if the 5 AH difference enough to qualify as higher capacity? Or should I register it as the same capacity?

Thanks in advance

The reason why you have to register your new battery is because you car's charging system uses a different charging "strategy" for a new battery versus an old battery.
