Do you have VCDS?

Can I safely assume that you coded the BEM when you replaced the battery?
Use VCDS to check battery MVBs to ensure that you didn't get a dud or something.

So I'm going to say that you didn't get an OEM battery based on that.......
Have a look at my battery thread for what MVBs to look at and I'll attempt to guide you if you need help in finding stuff.

Yes, it does seem like you went smaller, but I assume you already knew that based on whatever battery you purchased?
You should pull the History Data to review to see if it tells you anything about your recent starting hiccup.

Did anything show up on autoscan?

Well, dig your head in the snow if that approach works for you.
I see your new battery was nearly dead when your little hiccup took place.

What's up with that?
Browse all the dropdowns. There's sections that will tell you how the generator is doing and how your energy use/charging is going based on your driving conditions and patterns.
You might also want to investigate any of those other codes that might cause electrical drains....
You also excluded a lot from your Autoscan, so make sure whatever that other stuff was isn't a contributing factor to your current issue.
Yes, the new battery is fine as can be confirmed by stat #10 in your screenshot above!
As per earlier suggestion, if you look through the other dropdowns and dates combinations, you will see other useful information that may reveal clues as to what contributed to your issue on that specific date.
What patriotic beard over there is suggesting you do can be done with a simple multimeter while cranking the engine over.... look up performing a voltage drop test..... this would help identify wiring\connector\grounding\starter issues that might be present in that circuit.
"Like" is a strong word.... but let's go with that.
