    Mark I noticed on RealOEM that they reference a 70AH and a 50AH battery. Now that you're not in the Great White North, maybe the 70AH is overkill :rolleyes:

    Well my MINI has been sitting for about 3 days, with low temps. at or near freezing, without the battery tender plugged in, and it just started like it was new:Thumbsup: If it can hang in there till April, it will be 7 years old. Going to put this off for a bit, and just plug it in if temps get down into the teens.

    My battery lasted 4 years, I bought a replacement at a local parts place in 2006. It is a Deka. It fit my R50 perfectly.
