Possible battery issue
During the last week I've noticed that my c300 is starting kind of slow. Today twice it has not started, I've had to turn the switch to off and then start it again. I assume that my battery is dying.
If anyone has had this issue please let me know.
If it is the battery let me know which brands do you recommend
Thanks

Best to have a battery load tested & the alternator output checked.
The replacement battery should be a AGM ie Absorbed Glass Matt type with similar amp hours to what it is replacing.

You can read the battery voltage before you start. I don't know other MBs but C300 is slow compared to my other cars. Lowest voltage I observed is 11.4V and it starts with no problem.
Quickest start of my other cars is Maxima and QX4 (daily drive). It takes no time.
