Frequently asked questions

It depends on the generation and engine: there are 11 compatible batteries in total, from 50 to 80 Ah and 530 to 800 A of cold cranking. The best sellers for this model are Car battery Varta E11 12V 74Ah 680A, Car battery Varta E44 12V 77Ah 780A, Start-Stop battery Varta A7 12V 70Ah 760A AGM. With your plate we tell you the exact one in seconds.
Between 64.95 € and 148.78 €, VAT included, depending on capacity and technology (lead-acid, AGM, EFB). Start-Stop versions (AGM or EFB) sit at the top of the range because they withstand many more cycles.
By the registration year: Mini Countryman II (2016-2025); Mini Clubman II (2014-2025); Mini Convertible III (2014-2025); Mini III (2013-2025); Mini IV (2013-2025); Mini Paceman (2012-2016). If your year falls in the overlap between two generations, tell them apart by body type (hatchback, estate or coupé) or use the plate finder, which settles it with no doubt.
Yes, as long as the dimensions fit the tray and the terminal layout matches. More capacity (Ah) and more cold cranking (A) do not harm the vehicle: the alternator charges it the same and you gain margin in winter. What you must never do is go below the original figures.
Between 4 and 6 years in normal use. Start-Stop batteries (AGM/EFB) tend to last slightly less in city driving because of the number of starts, but they are designed for that cycling. If the car sits unused for weeks or you notice slow cranking in the cold, get it checked.

How to know which battery your MINI Mini takes

Easiest of all is the number plate lookup: those few characters tell us the precise variant, the engine and the original battery, so you need not check anything else.

Prefer to do it manually? Check the date of first registration on your V5C and match it against the generation table above. When a year straddles two generations, the body style decides it: five-door hatch, estate or coupé.

As a final check, look at the battery currently fitted: the label shows capacity (Ah) and cold cranking amps (A). Always replace with equal or higher figures, never lower, and keep the same dimensions and terminal layout.

Start-Stop: which battery your Mini needs

Start-Stop on the modern Mini changes the rules: the battery takes hundreds of micro-cycles daily. The correct answer is EFB for basic systems and AGM where braking energy is recovered. Dropping to a conventional battery is the most expensive mistake you can make here.
