Replacing the battery on Mini r56 cars

Model: Mini Mini R56, R57, R55 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Battery

When working with the engine off and the handbrake applied, raise the hood and stop it safely. Remove the plastic shown in the video placed near the windshield, unscrewing the 10 mm nuts and removing the rubber placed near it. Once the top plastic is removed, you can see the battery. Unscrew and then disconnect the two poles, remembering that you always start with the disconnection of the negative pole and only then go to the positive. Completely disassemble the plastic box to be able to extract it, then grab it by the handle and that's it. Proceed backwards for assembly.
