Battery recommendation

I might have to replace the battery soon but i don't know which one I have to get it. I'm planning to get it from Walmart or either any other places that has cheap batteries.

Can anyone shoot me a link?

I just got an OEM battery from MINI on a sweet deal. Might want to check them first. Prices have gone down on the older non AGM batteries from what i have seen. You get a $18 core charge also.

Otherwise we have some other battery options here, if i did not get the genuine MINI Varta one (we dont carry at this time, you have to pickup at local MINI dealer) I would have gone with the optima one. https://www.ecstuning.com/Mini-2007-...rical/Battery/

You will have to have the car "coded" when you change the battery.... especially if you are switching from Lead Acid to AGM or vice/versa.

Tons of info in the forums here about that.
