# Mini battery in Málaga > Mini battery in Málaga: AGM and IBS registration (BMW platform) included. No appointment, ~15 min, Official Varta Distributor since 1999. Ask for a price. Home › Car batteries › Batteries by brand › Mini The Mini range uses a 12 V battery that is nearly always AGM : built on the BMW platform, the Cooper, Cooper S, JCW and petrol Countryman with Start-Stop carry AGM as standard , and even the electric Cooper SE uses a 12 V AGM or EFB as its auxiliary battery . Every Mini has an IBS sensor on the negative terminal , so the new battery must be registered in the car's control unit.

Today, no appointment Send us your number plate on WhatsApp and we'll tell you the exact battery for your Mini and the price in minutes. Call now WhatsApp Málaga sees the whole spread, from a second-hand Mini to the latest Cooper with Start-Stop, and they all share one root: they are BMW underneath . That makes a difference when changing the battery, because it is not enough to fit a new one and close the bonnet: it must be registered in the control unit so the car charges it properly. We do it on the spot, without an appointment , at C/ La Orotava, 100, 29006 Málaga . What battery does a Mini use? Mini shares its platform, electronics and energy management with BMW , and that defines its battery: 12 V AGM across almost the whole range, with an IBS sensor on the negative terminal that requires the new battery to be registered in the control unit . If it is not registered, the system treats it as the old one, charges it poorly and halves its life. Another quirk of the brand: the battery is not always under the bonnet ; depending on the model and year it can sit in a less usual spot, something we confirm from your number plate before starting.
