Generally, nothing at all bad would happen.

Batteries on modern cars (well the ones you are into anyway) are pretty much all the same other than just capacity.

i only asked this question because every car i seem to buy has a fooked battery and mine is brand new and cost 80bar lol

It depends on the age of the car, and whether it is meant to have a CALCIUM battery, if it is, then it will have a higher charge rate, and certainly 14.8 minimum, whereas on non calcium cars it will be regulated to 14.4 maximum, some calcium cars charge at 15.5 -16 volts.
There is no bother of course fitting a calcium battery on a car not equiuped new with one but must not put a normal non calcium battery on a car that orignially had a calcium one.
If you do it would just kill the battery, but R 5 is std non calcium.
