Re: [MBZ] AGM Battery for ML 250
In my experience batteries go from "works fine" to "won't hold a charge/start the car" very quickly without much warning. That's mostly with conventional batteries though, I don't have much experience with AGM batteries. On Thu, Mar 14, 2024, at 13:50, Andrew Strasfogel via Mercedes wrote: > But very slowly.

Re: [MBZ] AGM Battery for ML 250
It still has the original battery with the date stamped on it from the factory. It's now 9 years old and working fine, except that Eco start works only sporadically and the rear hatch doesn't open fully in the morning after the car has been sitting overnight.

Yes. Interstate manufactured in Deutschland. If it has a problem, walk in, set it down, say it’s dead, and in 5min you’re out with a new one.
