2007-2013 Mini Cooper S (R56) Battery Replacement

1. What about battery registration?

2. I know you have a thing for battery terminals, so was surprised you don't add anything to prevent corrosion. My dad was a motorhead and mechanic, and always threw a little vaseline on the terminals to forestall that. I've done that on and off with different cars, and the ones I've kept long enough to warrant new batteries have need had an issue with corrosion when I used it.

3. Can I ask if you will lose radio codes or anything when disconnecting power? I changed one on my daughters Suzuki Swift and had to put power to the battery leads whilst I disconnected and removed the old one until the new one was connected up – for that very reason.
   Many thanks for info on dismantling though – mine is the same just reversed for UK model (battery on right looking from front)

4. Great video. Also good practise to write the date on the battery with an indelible marker or sticker.

5. Do you happen to know where the the battery vent hose is suppose to come out on the bottom side? Thanks, love you videos, especially on this Mini!

6. I'm curious, after installing battery do you have to reset the computer and register the battery to the car?

7. Good work.. I changed the battery well the window is not work why thank you

8. Ok merci garde ton bouc.👍😈

9. You totally rock Eric! I watched this video and then went out and bought a new one and installed it all by myself saving $300.00☮️😍

10. I want to add to your video that it is dangerous to put a wrench near the battery, it can close the battery.

11. Those leaves say a lot about your standards lol

12. Gréât vidéo thank you dude

13. So, will disconnecting and reconnecting the battery will not hurt the FRM module?

14. I thought on these you have to register the battery with the car

15. Did you have any problems with the computer when you put in the new battery? I've heard horror stories about how the computer gets messed up and can short out when you do this and with the car's computer problem history, I'm afraid to try.

16. My 2010 Mini Cooper's battery went dead so I unplugged the battery and recharged it up. When I replaced cables, motor is running rough and check engine and flat tire warning lights are showing. Checking around it seems that the ECU might need to be reprogrammed to accept the battery? Any ideas about how to do this without having to tow the car to the dealer?

17. Love this MINI series Eric. It has helped me get started with my own Mini Cooper S flip car.

18. Thank you sir, this is exactly what I needed.

19. are we able to register and calibrate the batteries our self, does anyone know a tool or software to use?

20. My trim isnt flush with the window anymore ?

21. Thank you so much! It took me 3 Months to finally try it (was scared) but you did an amazing job explaining what to do – and I never felt like I didn’t know what I did. So once again: Thank You!

22. So it doesn't need programming? I keep reading some mini require this

23. Thanks ill be doing this tomorrow for the 1st time very helpful

24. Eric i need some help I have a 2008 mini cooper s turbo hard top just like in the video.I have no reverse lights,fuses are good ,bulbs are good,just sent out FRM module for test good,I believe this model doesnt have a resese switch ,Anything im missing ??? suggestions thanks Gary gary_glynn@cable.comcast.com

25. Thank you, vey helpful 👌👍🙏

26. Can you tell me which battery brand/model you used, please? Thank you.

27. Anyone-? Does a 2008 mini cooper s show a battery sign in dash area if battery is going out? My engine light was on for awhile, looked into other things…when my battery died 2 times on me, i jumped it twice worked for another 3 mnths…now ir dies and i replaced with a new one-its running great and engine light finally went off? But i mever saw a battery sign go on???

28. Is there any kind of reprogram for these batteries ? One of the advisors told me they had to reprogram the car once they put in a new battery.

29. We have a mini one 2007, would it mess with the electronics if u replace the battery.

30. Thank You.
