Hi all I've been searching for decent battery and wanted some advise.
I found this one if it fits size wise.

S5 A11 BOSCH AGM CAR BATTERY 12V 80AH TYPE 115 S5A11​

At Tanya's batteries (anyone used that company before?)
Its at a seemingly good price.

Any positive or negative comments about that battery or alternatively other good batteries would be appreciated, the image below was my battery voltage after just unlocking the car and plugging into obd scanner it drops to almost 0 on cranking

I have just fitted a S5A13 to my S500, good quality battery.

Tayna is good and recommended

After much searching I ended up with the Varta silver 12v 800 80cc which is the same spec as the original mercedes battery, it was £189 locally or £169 at Tanya's batteries but also £8.99 postage...so for the sake of an extra £10, I got it there and then.
I was amazed when I discovered it still had the original Mercedes battery which would be around 14 years old now.
Should anyone be interested when the battery was tested on a better battery tester my old Merc battery showed 12.4 v standing charge but only 415 amps instead of the 800 it started with.

So hopefully this may resolve other issues. Also as I previously mentioned the battery doesn't need registration with the car.
Hope this helps

I have used Tayna several times always excellent service and rapid delivery. Varta Silver is my battery of choice and what came fitted to the car originally. I replaced several neighbours batteries when they all suffered from lack of use during Covid and needed replacing. As mentioned by others a battery charger/conditioner is almost a must now-a-days if you don’t use car frequently.

Thank for that, I feel somewhat happier with my purchase now.
And yes I would like a agm battery charger/conditioner but my car is used daily at the moment.

I too have purchased many car batteries from Tayna and have recommended them to many

You know they will also have pretty fresh stock considering what they must be turning over of all the common/popular items.

I’ve bought 3 of them in the last 4 weeks just for the sake of it knowing my batteries are new.

Did you get the S5 A11 Bosch? I’ve got an e220 from 2010 with original battery still and I think I need to replace. Still holds a charge. I think maybe its CCA is now too low to turn over reliably. Well either that or my starter motor is dying :) . I’ve used Tanya batteries before, they seem ok, but on the two other cars I got a battery for, they kind of told a porky in the sense they said they had in stock and then mailed me straight after the order to say it would take 3 days not the next day. I wonder if it was genuine or they only order a battery from their supplier once they get an order themselves? Any one have a view? Don’t mind it taking 3 days, but if I had needed it in 24hours I would have not been impressed
