Battery options?
I can't find any 100 ah batteries to replace the one in the C. It's definetly unique in the car world. I would like a gel filled battery replacement but it looks like we're stuck with buying the battery from MB? Anyone have experience otherwise?

You should be able to use a bigger one. I would just not recommend getting a smaller one. HTH

Bigger probably won't fit but that would be as hard to find as 100 ah. I did find one 120 ah gel filled battery but it was almost $400 so I didn't even bother to size it.

I looked into the dry cell optima batteries but they don't make one that will fit our current size of battery.
