Get the LIGHTEST battery that you can :-)

Honestly, any battery that fits and use a trickle charger... in a mini its easy as! Keep it on and plugged in 24x7 and when you drive just disconnect it - should take all of less than a minute.

Which is good if you have a garage/carport and a powerpoint that can be permanently hooked up!

I'm a fat bastard anyway so another kilo in a bigger battery's not going to be the tipping point between being lightning quick or not.

I got an Yellow Top Optima and no complaints so far, but it's only been a short time though. Have left the lights on a few times which in the past would have been a worry with my old battery, but this one just cranks hard regardless.

Also the size I got is a perfect tight fit in the battery box, almost thought for a minute that it wouldn't fit.
