Question, my battery died the other night, I've put in a battery temporarily from work to keep me going until I have time to grab one at the weekend, it's a bigger than normal battery you would use for a mini, so big I had to shave the plastic bits off the ends to get it into my battery box! The car starts stupidly quick because it's so powerful! Will this damage my starter motor? Sounds like the things going to take off with the power going through it!

It is a 12V battery you have used I presume? You don't work with lorries and 24V batteries do you lol!

As long as it is a 12v battery it will be fine , the improved starting is more than likely because the replacement battery has a much higher cranking amps capacity than a mini specific battery .

Yeah a 12v, not sure I would get a lorry battery in the mini! It's a 680amps one if that makes any sense
