Battery Exide or OEM Mercedes

VW lists 3 batteries, 1 AGM (68 Ah, Varta) and 2 flooded (72 Ah, Varta and 59 Ah, Exide) that may be used.

This one looks like it’s in very good shape, I’ve seen similar for sale for $200 to $300 but the couple I’ve seen at auction sold for $80 and $110 if my memory is correct. Both where in much worse shape than yours.

We’ve been using Luminous inverter with an Exide battery for about a year now. No issues so far, works well to provide backup for about 4 hours.

When you say, \u201ctwo new batteries\u201d are you speaking of the big ones? There is a small one that operate your convenience/comfort items. It looks like a small garage door battery.

Been pretty happy with my Exide/Durastart batteries. Have yet to see one die. Been using them for the past 5-6 years.

Last batteries I’ve owned where Exide Sonnak, very happy with price, longevity and performance.

any experience and reviews on it?

Exactly the same issue I am currently facing with a month old GLC300. No resolution yet

I had the same problem. My car was brand new too but was sitting for a bit before it was sold to me. I brought it in to get charged a few times but the message was still coming up and I was definitely driving it enough. Eventually they just changed the battery under warranty.

The batteries Mercedes uses seem to be really poor quality. I have a daily class and it seems they are changing the battery every 1.5 years so far on average…
