Cold Cranking Amps..

I found a battery at NAPA that has 1150CCA. Would it cause any damage to my system by using a battery rated that high? I read other post regarding the Die Hard # 27712 with 1025CCA is a good replacement, but it would take two weeks to a month to get one. My battery has started to leak water from the top and is making acid on my tray - Got to get rid of it soon! Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

PS-I've been giving out and leaving TDR flyers with people and in trucks I encounter in the neighborhood... hope to get more folk from So. Cal. Patrick
