I need to replace the battery in my 2010 C250 Sport 4Matic. My car is a 2.5 litre V6 made for the Canadian market. I looked at the battery chart at Costco and they don't list my battery. Their list says the battery for a C300 or C350 is:
DIN: H7
EN: LN4
BCI: 94R
Cold Cranking Amps: 790
Cranking amps at 32F: 985
Costco figment code: 22

Can I use this battery in my C250?

Thanks,
Keith

Cannot help with the one you mention but make sure you replace it with a Absorbed Glass Matt AGM battery of about 70 to 100 Amp Hours.
My OEM is a German made Varta. They last for 10 years & beyond.
May be better to find another supplier or seek a mobile man.

Take this with a grain of salt, but when I put in "c250 battery AGM" in Amazon, the search results showed me "incompatible with your vehicle", which it has listed as a C350 - if Amazon's vehicle compatibility tool is right, then the answer to your question is no. A couple of other searches showed batteries in the $189-$219 range, which is just about what you should expect to pay at your MB dealership, without worrying about fitment size, or specs. Maybe just call them in the morning and get a quote.

I'm curious though, most people state their original batteries have lasted 7-10 years, for yours to last 5 seems rather short. Anything you could think of that would cause your battery to "only" last 5 years?

I was a little surprised at the short life of the oem battery too. The only thing I can think of is that I sometimes drive a beater car in the winter and leave this car in the garage, in a cold climate. I will connect a battery tender next time it sits for more than a few days. I ended up buying the correct battery today. Thanks for your help.
