Default battery issues

I have a Costco battery for maybe 6-8 months. I went in to body shop and they told me normal is 600 cc but this one is coming back at 495cc. The alternator should charge it.

Faulty battery only after 6-8 months?

It can happen. Per above, you'd need to verify the battery's specs.

What prompted the body shop to test the battery?

They just test things when they do oil change.
