Best battery for replacement 2015 Cooper S


Does this look right for batery replacement on 2015 Cooper S?

Any other suggestions on Battery Replacement for my 2015 Cooper S? I went to Interstate and they said 3-4 months backorder on the battery I needed. I have a scanner to register, I just need a new Battery and this is the first time I'm buying one for my Cooper S.

battery from dealer for our 15 R59 S was $205 ..... so you're not saving much

dealer charged stupid dollars to install and program/register but if you can do that yourself . . . .

as long as you buy the same group size it will (should) fit .... book says a 15 MINI uses Group H5 or H6 <recommend check your existing one and buy same> .. OE was 680 cranking AMPS

<A battery group size is an industry-standard for car batteries that indicates the actual, physical size for a car battery (height x width x length), as well as the polarity (where the positive and negative battery posts are located on the battery). In addition to physical size you need to consider 'cranking AMPS' but here the size is one sided. You can't buy TOO MANY AMPS .... the more $$ the battery the more AMPS it has typically. You can buy too few, but not too many.>
