In regards to AMPS:
It's best to have more than THE NEEDED amps. In any circuit, if you reduce the amps available at the power source you will put a strain on the battery/power source. So if anything......go higher on CA.

When you replaced your battery, the "learned" or "adapted" engine settings in the DME were erased. This resulted in the engine defaulting to the original performacne maps and thus, it operated a little differently than it did before you changed the battery.

No fix required, just drive the car as you always do and the DME will re-learn the engine settings and things should be back to normal in about 25-50 miles.

It is true the DME has been reset to default and will need to re-adapt itself. My concern would be the dramatic change, which would indicate the DME is compensating and adjusting for underlying undetermined issues.
