Can the larger battery be mounted securely? Can you close the hood properly without it touching the battery? Are the terminals in the clear, not touching anything else?
If so the battery will work perfectly well in your car. Put it in and don't worry.

a battery is a battery..provided it fits, and is upto the job. more to the point why is it dying? either youve got something left turned on all night, or your alternator isnt working properly.
i had a 7 series, did the same thing, in teh dark, you could just see the alternator lamp glowing...in daylight it didnt show up.
easy check, buy a 5 quid multimeter, and check the voltage output..it ought to read 13.8 volts. when you rev teh car, the meter should increase...
but first of all check your battery terminals, clean and tight...
good luck

A Larger capacity battery wouldnt damage the car, however its not matched to the output from the altenator. I would be cautious about fitting it, take advice from your audi dealer first.

A larger battery of the same voltage will NEVER damage a car.

loglog84, have you ever latterly had something put in, like a stereo or another digital gadget, does the automobile crank slowly once you start up up it with a very charged battery, have you ever checked to be sure if there's a breaker or fuse that's marked for the charging device in the fuse container under the hood of your motor vehicle, have you ever regarded to be sure if the altenator belt is on and tight? i understand all of those would look as though stupid questions, yet as a mechanic, they are all proper to the challenge. 30 years in the past, automobiles I labored on had charging problems, yet have been frequently clinically determined as another situation than the altenator. something under pressure backwards on a radio case in point, or the starter would be going undesirable, inflicting the battery to be drained speedier via added load of the starter dragging. lots of todays autos have a breaker or fuse that's different for the charging device, if it somewhat is probable a breaker, exchange the breaker from considered one of the different positions to be sure if it is going to help your charging situation, although, be careful of the only you utilize, you do not choose to apply the only on your wipers, and then run right into a rain typhoon. yet earlier you do something, first verify the belts on the engine and with a tug on them be sure they are on and suitable tighted. you would be suprised what share people ignore this easy element (alongside with myself). If all else fails, take the altenator to a areas homestead to have it examined. solid luck, and have a large day!!

It will be fine as long as it fits. Think of the battery as an energy conservation device between the alternator and the electronics. In creasing the capacity will not harm at all.

Hi, No it will not damage your car. As long as it fits in the battery tray and can be secured and the terminals cannot touch the bonnet etc.. you will be fine.
Go ahead and do it.
