Battery Mazda Protege 1996

I just replaced the battery in my

car. It is the exact same model as the old, but is shorter in size. Is this normal?

Thankyou

As long as the new battery has sufficient Cold Cranking Amperage (CCA), the difference in size is not significant.

Thanks for the response! According to an on-line battery chart, the model I bought is one that has sufficient CCA for the vehicle.
