A modern MINI with start-stop needs an AGM battery matched to the original, and the new battery must be registered to the car with a diagnostic tool, as on a BMW. Depending on the model it sits in the engine bay or in the boot. Both jobs can be done where the car is parked in JBR.
Under the retro body a modern MINI is a BMW, and it treats its battery the BMW way. A sensor on the negative terminal reports charge and battery age to the car. When a new battery goes in, it has to be registered with a diagnostic tool so the charging system starts afresh. Skip that step and the car keeps charging a new battery as if it were worn out, which shortens its life and can leave start-stop disabled.
Location varies. On recent Hatch and Convertible models the battery is at the back of the engine bay under a plastic cover near the windscreen. On recent Countryman and Clubman models it is commonly in the boot under the floor. First-generation Cooper S models also carried it in the boot. Most start-stop MINIs use AGM. Because MINIs are often second cars doing short trips, the battery spends much of its life half charged, and heat finishes the job.

From first message to driving away usually takes under an hour.
Tell us the car's make, model and year, and where it's parked. Tower name and parking level save time.
We send the batteries that fit your car and the total for each, before anyone sets off.
Inside JBR that's usually 20 to 35 minutes. The old battery is tested first, so you only replace it if it has failed.
New battery in, terminals cleaned, charging system checked. Pay by cash, card, Tabby or Tamara.
Replace like with like. Fitting a lower-grade type than the car was built with is the most common reason a new battery fails early.

Our technicians are based in JBR, so the towers along The Walk, the beach parking and the Marina side are the quickest to reach. The circle shows roughly 5 km from our base.
The same number gets you a mechanic, a recovery truck or an AC technician. Small jobs are done where the car is parked.

Car was dead on P2 after three weeks away. Sent the tower and bay number on WhatsApp and the technician was at the car in about 25 minutes. He tested it first and showed me the printout before changing anything.

The dealership quoted me three days. These guys fitted an AGM battery in my building's basement the same evening and registered it to the car. Start-stop works again.

Honest. I was sure I needed a new battery. He jump started it, checked the alternator and told me the battery still had life in it, just drive it more. Didn't try to sell me anything.

Friday night on The Walk so it took closer to 40 minutes than 30, but they called to say so. Battery is in the boot on mine and he knew exactly where to go. Paid with Tabby.

Called at 1am after a flight. Someone answered straight away and the car was running before 2. Warranty written on the invoice, old battery taken away.

Clear about the options. Three brands that fit my car, what each one cost and how long the warranty was, all on WhatsApp before he set off. No surprises when he arrived.

Second time I've used them, different car. Same result: on time, clean job, terminals cleaned without me asking. I've saved the number.

Security at my cluster can be difficult with outside contractors. They told me exactly what to say to the gate and it went smoothly. Battery changed in twenty minutes.

Not quite. Registration tells the car a new battery of the same type and capacity has been fitted, and resets the charging history. Coding is only needed when the type or capacity changes, for example from flooded to AGM. Fitting a like-for-like battery means registration alone is enough.
Try the spare fob first. If neither works and no interior light comes on when you open the door with the metal key blade, the car battery is flat. If the lights work but the fob does not, the fob battery is the likely cause.
Usually 20 to 35 minutes anywhere inside JBR, a little longer when The Walk loop is jammed on a weekend evening. You get a realistic arrival time when you message, and a call if it changes.
Yes. Tower basements, podium parking, hotel valet areas, beach parking and the roadside are all fine. We need the bonnet to open and about a metre of space in front of or beside the car.
We test before selling anything. If the battery is healthy but drained, a jump start and a proper drive will do. If the test shows it can no longer hold charge or deliver cranking power, it needs replacing.
Varta, Bosch, Amaron, ACDelco, Exide, Energizer, Duracell, Solite, Sebang, Panasonic, FIAMM, Tudor, Hyundai Mobis and Camel. We match the size, terminal layout and technology to your car first, then you choose the brand.
Message us the make, model and where it's parked. You'll have a price and an arrival time in a few minutes.
