MINI Cooper Clubman (2017) - New Battery Install

[@RyanK-y6l]

Fantastic video! One of the best I have seen. My new battery installation took just over an hour thanks to this video. Thank you! As for the battery registration, I found an obd2 device with battery coding on Amazon for $90. All in, it was still 1/2 of paying someone to do it.

Thanks for watching and for you feedback!

By far…one of the best instructional videos ever! Congrats and thank you!

Hi - You’re welcome and thanks for watching and sharing your opinion!

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!

Thanks for this! 20 minutes to change my battery without a hitch. I especially appreciate getting all the wrench sizes.

Thank you for watching and glad we could help!

This was incredibly helpful and worked on my 2020 Clubman! Saved us hundreds of dollars - thank you!

[@TheBatteryShop]

Thank you for watching, glad we could help you out and save a little bit of money!

A million times thank you! Swapped out the battery in my 2017 Mini Cooper just fine.

Did you register your battery?

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.

[@RyanK-y6l]

I didn’t have to remove the cross bar on mine

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?

[@danitarraga3857]

Thanks muy bien explicado 👏👏👏👏

[@TheBatteryShop]

¡Gracias por ver!

[@JakariDesigns]

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!

[@TheBatteryShop]

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

[@kona328WH]

Thanks for the video. Really helpful. Was it an 80Ah battery for the f54 Clubman?

[@TheBatteryShop]

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.

[@kona328WH]

@@TheBatteryShop yes I believe mine's 80. Is that what you fitted?

[@spencercartier97]

Thank you!!

[@TheBatteryShop]

Thank you for watching!

[@tombanes]

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.

[@TheBatteryShop]

Thanks for your advice!

[@powerrider9020]

Can I install DIN80 AGM battery to it?

[@TheBatteryShop]

Hi - Thanks for watching! We can only suggest that you install a battery that meets or exceeds the original equipment battery specifications.

[@appelsinnadurai]

Thank You

Hi - You're welcome and thanks for watching!

[@dougtrancps]

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.

[@TheBatteryShop]

Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion!

[@darrenschatz1526]

Is it required to have a memory saver

[@nicholashollingsworth7215]

Yep. Never seen such a ridiculous setup. I have one and am debating doing it myself or not.

[@dougtran5648]

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. 😂

[@mrswedishmax]

It isn’t designed to be difficult on purpose. It is for packaging purposes. It is not difficult, a few bolts and trim removal.

[@strawhatgolf]

Who the hell though it was a good idea to design the battery housing below all these other components? Idiocy

[@TheBatteryShop]

Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion!

[@nicholashollingsworth7215]

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.

Very dark quality clip
