How much does a new Mercedes-Benz battery cost?

The battery in your Mercedes-Benz is easy to take for granted because it’s out of sight and usually just works. But batteries have a tough task, being responsible for engine ignition and powering all of the lights and electronics. And being faced with a dead battery can carry consequences ranging from inconvenient to dangerous, depending on the situation. So, it’s important to recognize the signs of a strained batter and when to get it tested or replaced.

Signs of Poor Battery Performance

But fortunately, you don’t need to wait for an ignition failure to know when there’s a potential issue, as there are a few tell-tale indicators. Bring your Mercedes-Benz to Prime Motor Cars for a checkup if you notice symptoms like:

• The Battery/Check Engine light illuminates
• Ignition seems sluggish or strained
• The battery appears to be leaking or has corroded terminals
• The battery case appears swollen
• The lights dim when operating the AC

Car batteries are pretty durable despite their workload and can last three to five years or more, depending on the operating conditions and your driving habits. However, after the three-year mark, it’s recommended to have it tested twice annually.
