Odyssey agm65 battery you can buy this battery on the link I added or on Amazon with free shipping. This is a perfect swap for an OEM battery. Truly Plug and play. Learned this from someone on Reddit and decided to try it myself and it works perfectly.

Pros: perfect swap, works perfectly

Cons: no vent plug hole

Part number: AGM65

I have a 2020 GLB250 and mine was saying "12V battery" on and off for a few weeks. I checked under the hood with a multimeter and my main battery did have a low voltage while the car was off. I replaced it a few weeks back. No more notification.

Pros: no more notification

Cons: low voltage, on and off

I had the same issue on my w213 - same warning every now and then until one day it just didn’t start. Replaced the battery and solved the issue.

Pros: solved the issue

Cons: warning every now and then

Everyone's suggesting things that might save you half a percent or so, but no one has pointed out that by driving at 80mph, you lose *around 30% more battery* than if you were doing 70mph over the same distance

Cons: lose battery at 80mph

Vehicle: Subaru Forester

Part number: 35

In the 166 body MB ML/GL, its under the passenger seat, with barely enough room to reach the rear terminal. It's also so far forward that you can barely grab the fuckin thing. Oh, did I mention that it is a group 49 battery.

Cons: hard to reach

That said, do not buy another Subaru battery. They are way over priced and extreme garbage. You'll be replacing it again in a year to 2 years; they are notorious for having failed cells in just a couple years. If you want something that will last a long time buy an AGM from Odyssey.

Pros: last a long time

Cons: failed cells, over priced

Vehicle: Subaru

I don’t have an AMG, but a 2024 CLA 200d and having battery drain problem is annoying to say the least and haven’t even had the car for a month when it all started happening. It’s been at the dealer for the past 3 days and no voltage drop there. They gave me the signal blocking key case and they upgraded the software and still can’t find the problem. Third visit in the month and new battery installed too.

Cons: battery drain problem, annoying, problem persists after new battery
