Any advice on batteries?

[J-Nevil]

My friend, who has a rather technologically advanced motorhome that I'm very jealous of, has had a battery issue this week. He's replacing an 85 ampere hours battery with a 110 ampere hours one - similar to this one, http://www.leisurebatteriesuk.com/motorhome/diamond-leisure-battery-110

My question is, are there any issues with doing this? Will the increase in ampere hours have an effect on the electronics of the motorhome or is it okay? I know that the voltage is the same on both batteries.

I replaced a 85Ah battery with a 110Ah battery on our previous van, which had a battery locker acessible from utside. The only issue is size, in that some 110s are much larger so you have to make sure you have the space before purchasing one.
The battery on our current van (Banner 956 01) is under the passenger seat and the max dimensions are L 350mm, W 178mm, H 190mm - so the Diamond referred to would be too high. I will have to go for something like a Banner 95751 if I want to increase capacity.

Okay, thanks for your response. I completely overlooked the fact that size might be an issue.
