I think my battery is on it's way out, so I'm gonna start looking for a new one, but was wondering if a larger battery could be put in to the battery tray in the boot?? If so, what is the biggest and what are the dimensions of the battery tray??

Cheers!

I think a 063 is what you need..

Make no difference all the battery boxes are the same size.

at my work (Halfords) they reccomend 063 for 90% of minis.... if you can get hold of a trade card they are only £38 somthing..

The battery I've got in at the moment is a Halfords one and it's not very good..... the previous owner said it was only a few months old when we bought the Mini 2 months ago.

So if I google search '075 car battery' it should show me what I need yeah??

Cheers for all the help guys!

I just bought a 063 from euro car parts in strood industrial estate fits really easily. puts out 47ah and has a cold crank of 440. only cost me £50 and some change. Car starts instantly with this installed. its an exide premium. they do have one for like £40 which puts out about 40ah and 360 but this is pretty close to a standard mini battery.

Cheers Chris..... I was gonna give the guy a call at Kent Batteries in Rainham as he did us a really good deal on the battery for our Astra not long ago.

So with the 075 having a 60ah and a cold crank of 610, that's pretty good huh?

So long as it's somewhere between £40-£60 I'll be happy.
