Thanks! That made the whole process easy. I ended up having to do this away from home and was able to do so and get back to operation. The last start in the morning worked fine, the next start in the afternoon the battery didn't have enough umph to turn the engine over. I was surprised at the sudden failure, standard lead acid batteries fail more gradually and give some warning. I was able to jump start but even after charging the OEM battery couldn't start a warm motor. The new battery started it just fine. Now I just need to find a shop to get the charge module reset for a new battery. Thanks again for making a comprehensive, easy to follow video!
Hi - Thanks for watching! The correct battery depends on the engine size. We recommend that you check the vehicle owner’s manual for the correct battery for your vehicle.
Question : does the battery vent tube stay unconnected on the opposite side? (One side is installed into the battery and the other side Is just shoved behind the battery but not connected to anything) just confirming :) thanks! Very helpful video!
Please be mindful that when you use a memory saver through the OBDII port or back feed from anywhere that the positive cable lug is LIVE and cannot touch any ground or metal. I put a sandwich bag on it and tape to make sure it does not touch ground.
I am sorry but i think this is a ridiculous design by the German engineers. It is purposely designed to deter owners from changing the battery themselves. This is one reason I don't care for German-made automobiles.
Nicholas, if I could change the battery, you can too. Just need to be patient and act like you enjoy it. Hey, I saved $280 changing the battery myself. 😂

A million times thank you! Swapped out the battery in my 2017 Mini Cooper just fine.
Thanks for watching and glad we could help you out.
Did you register your battery?
@@AriesDaGoat666 nope

Thank you so much for the video! In a 2017 Countryman you also have to remove the square crossbar to get the tension strut out.

Ditto for my 2018 MIni Countryman S All4. I had to remove the stabilizer bar to get one of the parts out.

Hi - You’re welcome and thanks for watching and sharing your experience!
I do not have the little black piece for the vent hose. Is it absolutely necessary that I get it to connect? Or can I still drive it?
Excellent video dude! Thank you very much
Hi - You're welcome and thanks for watching!
Great video. Well done.
Thank you for watching and glad you found it valuable.
Thanks for the video. Really helpful. Was it an 80Ah battery for the f54 Clubman?

@@TheBatteryShop yes I believe mine's 80. Is that what you fitted?
Thank you very much for sharing this.

Very helpful video!
Hi - Thanks for watching! The other end is connected to a port to vent battery gasses out of the vehicle.

Thanks for your advice!
Thanks muy bien explicado 👏👏👏👏
¡Gracias por ver!
Thank you!!

Can I install DIN80 AGM battery to it?
Hi - Thanks for watching! We can only suggest that you install a battery that meets or exceeds the original equipment battery specifications.
Thank You

Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion!
Is it required to have a memory saver
Yep. Never seen such a ridiculous setup. I have one and am debating doing it myself or not.
Nicholas, if I could change the battery, you can too. Just need to be patient and act like you enjoy it. Hey, I saved $280 changing the battery myself. 😂
It isn’t designed to be difficult on purpose. It is for packaging purposes. It is not difficult, a few bolts and trim removal.
Who the hell though it was a good idea to design the battery housing below all these other components? Idiocy
Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion!
I said the same exact thing! It’s like they went out of their way to make it almost impossible for the average person to change the battery.
