Battery Panasonic or OEM Mercedes

My original Panasonic lasted seven years in my car when new

After the original battery, i replaced it with a Panasonic battery (nasa ₱5k that time) in 4th quarter of 2019. Etong panasonic battery life, last June 2024 ko lang napalitan (after 4 to 4.5yrs of service )????

Out of stock yung Panasonic so pinagtyagaan ko nalang yung Motolite priced at ₱7k recently (shucks i hope this battery lasts kahit 2yrs).

This just happened to me last month on my 2017 C43 on the OEM battery. I guess five years is typical on these newer MB.

Panasonic made batteries for Subaru years ago, black top and white case that you could just barely see through. Those bastards would run 7 or 8 years consistently before being replaced….

the only time it failed me was when the battery died after 100k miles.

I’m on my 3rd 4Runner, they all came factory with the Panasonic battery. That damn thing wouldn’t quit till at least year 8.

I tried my spare key, and the first time I used it, I got a weak battery warning. I never had that warning on the key I regularly use. I replaced both batteries, and still had the problem.

I’ve had it 3.5 years and it just started doing the “Stop Vehicle Leave Engine Running” thing about a month ago.

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.
