How to Replace the Battery in a Mini R56

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

If you need to replace the battery, first ensure you have any activation codes, such as for the radio. The battery is located in the engine bay, on the passenger side, just below the windscreen, under a plastic cover. This cover has an inspection cap, but to remove the battery, you must take off the entire plastic cover. At this point, remove the retaining bracket, disconnect the terminals, and detach the breather pipe to complete the disassembly.
