It should work fine however... Make sure your 65 AH battery is designed for starting engines and isn't a "deep discharge" camping/caravan battery. Deep discharge batteries can't usually provide enough Amps to start a car.
If you are replacing a smaller battery with a larger one, then the only problem will be the mechanics of holding it down with the existing mounting bracket.
