Yo $tallion!

Have your fuel pump and fuel filter checked and maybe these are the culprit. I experienced this in my 300E before where it would run and then stall out. I replaced the fuel pump and fuel filter in my car and never had anymore problems.

By the way, the fuel pump and fuel filter are located underneath the car. It is located slightly in front of the rear-right passenger wheel, covered in black plastic sheet. Take off the plastic cover and it will show you 2 cylindrical-shaped objects. One of them is the fuel pump and the other is the fuel filter.

Like I said, check the fuel pump, maybe it is not pumping enough fuel towards the engine or your fuel line is clogged. It is not your battery.
