[diesel_mercedes] Automotive Battery Life

 

What's the CCA rating ? (it's on the barrtey's stickers) .

I've seen quite a few Mercedes Diesel with 700 or 750 CCA batteries , this is too low and combined with the off brand voltage regulator's chronic undercharging , will cause short battery life from overwork .

FWIW , the # 1 killer of batteries is overcharging .

# 2 is vibration so if you don't have those cute little hold down clamps , get two from  Tom Hansen @ The Mercedes Classic Center , mailed right to your doorstep .

I've had three batteries replaced under warranty in one year. Don't know why.
