065 and 063 is that not the physical battery size?

Physical size equates capacity, no harm in fitting a higher capacity battery as long as the battery box can hold it securely.

You are right. The 065 is significantly larger than the 063. If you can fit a larger battery then go for it, but check the dimensions first to make sure it will fit!

Some batteries also have the terminals the other way around so thats something else to watch out for. No point getting yourself a beefier battery and then finding that the + and - terminals are the wrong way around.

Physical size is not always a guide to the capacity.

Look on ebay 063 batteries come in several different capacities. But a bigger variable is the CCA. Cold cranking amps.

Cheaper batteries have a lower storage capacity, And a lower starting current when cold.

So a brand new battery may still turn the engine over slowly in the winter despite being fully charged.

Cheap battery is like trying to empty a canal through a hosepipe. A quality
one is like opening the locks.
