1985 Daihatsu Charade 4 cyl Wheel Drive Type unknown Manual 150000 miles

I have a charade 1985. I have done the engine and changed the plugs and all the other things you need to do for service. My car would not start on a cold day or if it rains very heavy. When you try to start the car, it just swings and swings. I took it to the battery centre and they say the battery is good. On a warm day, no problems. Please help
