If the battery will physically fit there is no problem using a higher capacity battery. Of course the voltage remains 12 Volts but there will a higher amperage available for a longer time should it be needed. This could actually be an advantage if there is ever difficulty starting, there will be more starter cranking time before the battery runs down. Think of it as having a larger gas tank, the gas is the same but there is more if needed.
De-ionised water Distilled water is recommended if the battery just needs topping off. Sulfuric acid if the battery is empty.
Jump it, it will either start or it wont
how do you know the battery is charged? also it could be a loose battery wire. they need to be properly thighten so the energy could flow. if there are no lights theres no power coming from the battery.
most likely the solenoid on the starter or could be a key switch problem doesn't sound like a battery problem
The battery is a 12V car battery.
If the battery has more cranking amps than the recommended battery and will fit into the battery carrier box the answer is yes.
Larger.
The car will then be unable to start.
You can't. You have what you have. Buy a larger CCA battery if you want more power.
depends on the car you have
Nothing. The battery is sealed an no harm will be done.
it will arch out and melt the knobs on your battery and your cables
A 55 Ampere Hour battery is not recommended for your car. The recommended battery is a group 49, with 100AH and proper venting. Other sizes will not fit and incomplete venting is dangerous.
THE BATTERY WILL GO DEAD
they have to be recycled and they wont work.
You will shorten the life of the battery. Only add Distilled water to a battery.
The battery is used when the car is running to stabilize the voltage and store energy from the alternator. It is not recommended to run the car with no battery, as this can damage the alternator and the car's electrical system.A dead battery (if you have one) can usually suffice to run the car for a short time, however it may also damage the alternator.
