Battery question

[Smokeybeer]

Hello Cesilophiles.

My battery is flat as a pancake and I'm going to get a new one from halfords today. Could anyone please tell me if the Mini Cooper battery is one I can ask for and actually get what I want? I don't know what year mini it would be and think maybe I should just play safe and buy a standard m3 size one. I imagine they won't have a csl oem battery at somewhere so general as halfords.

Thanks everyone!

Unless your trying to get the weight down,just go for an M3 battery,5 year Guarantee from Halfrauds,go for the Bosch one ;)

I bought an Exide Mini battery a few years ago - still going strong :thumbs:

I would stick with an OEM sized one too unless you do not have a trickle charger or use her infrequently and for short journies.

Why put all that weight back on when BMW have gone to greta lenghts to get her curvy and light - ??

* so Exide one or the original one from BMW
