A few more ideas: Who installed your new battery? If it was a
DEALER (seller of batteries OR a TIRE/MINI dealer) take your MINI
back to the installer and have them properly test the actual battery to
ensure it meets ALL new battery requirements.The battery itself could
be faulty and you may then qualify, under the warranty, for a freebie,
replacement battery. If YOU did the installation, undo what you did and
restart the process again, covering each step carefully, especially
ensuring the connections and the cables are properly fitted, as Tom
originally suggested. If this doesn’t bring you overall positive results
then take the battery back to the seller for for a complete testing.
Oh yes, make sure ALL the connection points are clean.
I hope these suggestions are helpful and you get your chariot up and
running as it should!!
