Mini Countryman battery replacement

Model: Mini Mini R60, Countryman1 - Years 2010-2016
Part: Battery

First we go to open the hood of our Mini. Next to the windshield wipers, on the left we find a cover. We remove the cover and now the battery will be visible. To the left of the battery we find two bolts of the cover and we go to unscrew them. We also remove the gasket that runs through the cover as much as needed. Now we are going to disassemble the wiper on the battery side, removing the cover that covers the bolt to be unscrewed. Once unscrewed, we close the hood momentarily and take out the windshield wiper. We reopen the hood and now it will be possible to remove the battery cover by levering the three clips underneath until you hear some clicks. Once extracted we can access the battery and begin to unscrew the bolts of the poles, negative and positive. Now with the help of an extension we are going to unscrew the bolt of the retainer located at the base of the battery. Now we can take out the old battery and replace it with the new one. Once the new battery has been positioned, let's put the latch back and reconnect the poles. Tighten the poles well, let's put the cover back by pushing down and tapping until it clicks, screw the two bolts on the left and insert the gasket to the cover. We can reassemble the wiper and put the cover back over the battery and the job is done!
