Hi folks,

The convenience battery in my 07, SL350 is well and truly borked - have tried bringing it back with a cleverer than usual smart-charger but no use. Car currently won't move out of park - research and code reader confirm it's the battery.

The one which was in there is a Varta but may have been discontinued - the serial number produces no match on Google.

Please advise which one I should get - the car's not been moved for 3 months (been away) and it needs moving.

Thank you.

The battery from Merc is around £90 I think or was when I replaced mine a couple of years ago.

Ah ok - was expecting more than that from MB direct. Thank you.

Just check first, but it was nowhere near as expensive as I thought it might be!

Smashing. It's caused lots of minor problems but once it stopped the car being moved it's got more serious.

Wonderful GT though. Spent a long time choosing what to get and it's perfect for communing and multi-thousand mile Euro holidays.

they are knowledgeable and give good advice
prices are also keen.
