My audi a6 500 battery is dying , i have a spare larger 650 battery but would it damage my car??
Answers:
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 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.

no as long as it fits in the battery well and does not touch any metal parts via the terminals you should be ok
A larger battery of the same voltage will NEVER damage a car.
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.

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
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.
