100Ah battery, Varta or Bosch. There are a lot cheaper alternatives out there but you get what you pay for. I think the warranty runs out at 5 yrs for the Varta and 3 years for the Bosch.

Hope this helps.

Replaced mine when the car was 5 years old with a Bosch which was priced very attractively at £80, the Varta working out at about £120. Don't use Merc for a replacement unless you want to spend 150 plus.

It has been mentioned on the forum that you can source a cheaper battery through MB Commercial agents, might be worth a try.

Your battery should be number 017 or for a bit extra power 017T
