Hi,I need a new battery for my mini and I need a more beefy one as I have new digital clocks,alarm system ect fitted.
The engine is a 1275 M.G Metro but I need a battery that will fit in the battery box.

Digital clocks and alarm should have negligible effect on the electrical load. If you really did need a larger battery for that reason, you would also need an uprated alternator.

But it is still a good idea to uprate the battery, because it will be winter soon, and starting will be easier.
