Your battery really doesn't have anything to do with your A/C blowing hot or cold. That said, I'm curious as to why you put a Ford battery in a Chevy...

Wow, holy crap... Now you've done it. You've mixed a bunch of Ford biased electrons with the OEM Chevy electrons. This will completely de-rail the modial interaction of magneto reluctance and capacitive deractance. Do you have any idea what's going to happen to your unilateral phase detractor? The sperthing bearings on your panametric fan are likely already toast. You need to remove that foreign energy block and completely flush out all six hydrocoptic marzelvanes, and while you're in there, replace the nofer-trunnions.

Noob!

Batteries don't care what kind of car they are in and they don't change your air conditioner. You have a different issue if your air conditioner isn't working.

MotorCraft batteries are made by Johnson Controls. Don't get too hung up on brand.

Johnson also makes the batteries for:
Walmart
Advance Auto
Autozone
Sears DieHard
AC Delco
Costco
Sam's Club
Pep Boys
Interstate

Now you've gone and ruined the car! With those Motorcraft electrons permanently mixed in it will need to be crushed. Sell it to me for $1 and I will assure it gets properly disposed of, after an appropriate test drive of many years....

Wut?

FWIW: The new 650 battery is stronger (better) than your old one, if I'm reading you right.

Keep the new battery. Brand is meaningless and you have more cold cranking amps, which is a good thing
