Default Battery question

Hello Cesilophiles.

My battery is flat as a pancake and I'm going to get a new one from halfords today. Could anyone please tell me if the Mini Cooper battery is one I can ask for and actually get what I want? I don't know what year mini it would be and think maybe I should just play safe and buy a standard m3 size one. I imagine they won't have a csl oem battery at somewhere so general as halfords.

Thanks everyone!

I bought an Exide Mini battery a few years ago - still going strong

I would stick with an OEM sized one too unless you do not have a trickle charger or use her infrequently and for short journies.

Why put all that weight back on when BMW have gone to greta lenghts to get her curvy and light - ??

* so Exide one or the original one from BMW
