2008 W204 C300
Exclamation 2008 Mercedes Benz C300 Battery Dimensions ?

I'm not home and my father told me that my battery died. I'm overseas and I'm currently researching what dimensions the battery is. I've seen 3 types of batteries in this car but I want to make sure I am getting the right one. (I know you're probably wondering, why doesn't his dad just take the picture, measure it himself. He works a lot and just doesn't have the time. Nor do my siblings. Plus my sibs aren't mechanically inclined to do something of the sort)

I looked on amazon and found this battery && I'm not sure if this one will fit or if it's the right kind to put in my c300.

Amazon.com: Odyssey Batteries PC1220-A Automotive/Light Truck and Van Battery: Automotive Amazon.com: Odyssey Batteries PC1220-A Automotive/Light Truck and Van Battery: Automotive




I seen the Varta Silver 12V 84AH 700A battery but only MB has those and I can't buy them online since they only sell in Europe.

I did contact a nearby MB dealer, but they haven't responded yet.

Please reply if you have a legit answer, i.e., dimensions & type of battery. Thank you !!

The Positive & Negative terminals also need to match up to your cars leads ie on the correct side of the battery .

IMHO your family needs to help out . What are fathers for ?

I don't know the exact dimensions of the battery. As important as physical size are where the terminals are placed, the type of terminal and hold-down method.

The 2008 C300 uses either a group 94R battery for the usual wet acid-lead battery or H-7 battery AGM battery.

You can check out what batteries fit online at Auto Zone and/or Advance Auto as examples. Most all battery companies make this size.

This links to a short video of how to change battery. It shows a W203 C300 but except for some minor differences in removing the cover is the same as a W204.


Hope this is some help.

The Absorbed Glass Mat is the correct type of battery.

Please see attachment. I would not be 100% sure that these sizes fit but it is a guide.

Thank you gentlemen, but from doing extensive research, that is the right battery, the right size is 12.9 x 6.8 x 7.4 or Simply, Group Size 94R.

Heres another one that fits
