Deep Cycle Marine Batteries
My current battery is a 24M 550CCA 690MCA. Will it hurt if I go with a larger battery with more CCA and MCA?

I had a pair of 6V marine deep cycle batteries I transferred to my RV. They had lived on a boat for 7 years. In winter a -30 c they sat disconnected. They were used to run everything on the boat and start a Yanmar diesel marine engine. I then got 4 more years out of them in the RV. All I did was maintain them properly.
I traded them at a Sams club in Texas and got 2 deep cycle 6V golf cart batteries. They are now going on 6 years old. I've traded 2 trailers in for newer ones that come with 12V. I give the 12V to the dealer and take my 6V with me.
So far so good.
CCA is a usless figure for an RV. The adage goes the thicker the lead the longer the life.
