I just popped on to recommend Eurocarparts - I had to buy a new battery for my MX5 last month and found their service to be fantastic and their price unbeatable!

You can also check Tayna.co.uk for batteries.

Bosch S4 that I am currently eyeing up is about £25 cheaper than ECP with a discount code.

Honestly £150 for a genuine Merc battery fitted is a bargain.

no idea what said:

But merc dont actually make batteries right. Its just a random brand battery advertised as 'genuine merc'.?

Pretty sure Varta make them. Assuming that Merc come to you to replace it that's a no brainer to me.

Mercades assistance have told me they will happily come back and fit any battery I buy myself. So I figured buying a Bosh or Exide online for £30-55 cheaper was a good idea? People on this thread have said both are great brands. And they both come with 3-4 years warrently. I will be changing the car in 12-18 months.

P.S My CLK is an 08 and this is the ORIGINAL battery im changing!!!

Nothing wrong with a Bosch, they have good warranties. I always get genuine stuff where possible though, for the sake of £30 difference?

I always buy YUASA these days, Japanese brand but in Europe they're actually Made in Wales.
