Brief component description: Alternator

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2016 MINI Cooper Countryman, 2015 MINI Cooper Countryman, 2014 MINI Cooper Countryman, 2013 MINI Cooper, and 2012 MINI Cooper. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

A more powerful alternator is installed to compensate for the higher rate of battery discharge associated with engine stops initiated by the MSA.
