Should the battery for Golf 7 be replaced with 60 or 70?

Golf 7's battery should be replaced with a 60AH one. The battery is a crucial component of a car and also a wearable part. As the number of charge and discharge cycles increases, the performance of the battery may decline, so it needs to be replaced regularly. Maintaining good car usage habits can extend the battery's lifespan. On December 10, 2013, FAW-Volkswagen officially launched the new Golf 7 in Guangzhou. The Golf 7 has a body length of 4255mm, a width of 1799mm, a height of 1451mm, front and rear wheel tracks of 1549mm and 1520mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2637mm. In terms of body colors, the Golf 7 offers nine options: Monsoon Gray, Maya Red, Magnetic Violet, Coral Blue, Deep Black, Reflex Silver, Tahiti Gold, Pure White, and Tanggula White.
I just replaced the battery for my Golf 7, and I've been thinking about it for a long time. The original battery was 60Ah, but the mechanic said a 70Ah one would also work, as the size is almost the same and it fits. The key is your driving habits—if you often take short trips and love listening to music, upgrading to 70Ah with higher storage capacity will last longer and provide more power for cold starts in winter. However, note that it's a few kilograms heavier and costs about a hundred yuan more. I finally chose the 70Ah one mainly because the dashcam and air purifier I installed consume a lot of power. On the highway, the alternator charges quickly, so I'm not worried about battery drain.
