Battery Info-(DIY or RSA?)
Hi,
The battery on my 01 c320 is bad and must be changed. I read that some people that changed their batteries themselves had electrical issues after.
1. What is a reasonable price for the c320 battery? Cheapest i can get is $100 or so.
2. Should i change the battery myself? If so what is the correct procedure.
3. Should i just call the RSA and let them do it?
Thank You.

Please do not put any other battery in the car.. call road side.. They will come to your house and change your battery for free.
Price of the battery is either 120-150 i don't remember and i don't feel like lookin for the paperwork haha..
But my org battery lasted 7 years crazy

Thanks all for the response.
I called RSA, and a guy came within 30 min. and changed the battery for $150. Very satisfied with the high level of service!

The OEM batteries are excellent. I would go the RSA route. Whatever you do make sure they fit a 100Ah or larger battery.

Glyn,
I believe my battery will need to be replaced soon, do you have the rough specs upon the size and weight of the stock battery? Additionally, do you have other specs on the battery? cold cranking amps/cranking amps/reserve capacity?
Thanks,
