Replacement of the Mini Supercharged battery

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

If the battery of the Mini Supercharged is discharged and does not react to subsequent attempts to recharge it, we must proceed to replace it. We will not find the battery in the engine compartment like the other versions, but we will find it in the rear trunk under the support panel that we can remove with the help of a flathead screwdriver. Using a 10mm socket wrench, we unscrew the negative terminal clamp first and the positive terminal afterwards. Using the same wrench, we unscrew the fixing bracket, remove the vent tube, and remove the plastic pad that helps secure the battery in its housing. We remove the old battery and replace it with a new one, insert the vent tube, put the pad back, screw the fixing bracket, connect the two terminals, starting with the positive one, and put the support panel back in place.
