Evening guys , we have a 1500 diesel Juke , it starts first turn of the key untill the temperature goes sub - zero , then it is hard work . Local garage has checked battery and charging and it appears fine . If I hook up some jump leads to my van it starts loads better .
I am thinking of getting a new battery next week but wondered instead of replacing the original 60 AH battery , could I go to a higher AH without damaging anything ?
Thank you in advance .

Guys , thank you all so much for opinions , to be honest the car doesnt normally get many “long runs “ but just lately its had plenty, her in doors has been hospital visiting non stop for the past month, strangely nothing has altered , it still starts the same .
