Which battery for C180k (uk)?? Help plse.

Need a new battery for my 2010 C180k. Any idea if a type 096 (uk) is correct? I currently have one in there but the MB tech says it looks small and below oem spec. Its 640a ah70 calcium type. The alternative is a 019 but that looks to big and i dont think it will fit. Advise welcome. Thanks.

You need a Absorbed Glass Mat (AGM) battery of at least 70 amp hours. I have a Varta ( German)which is lasting well ie 8 years. Some go to 10. Good value in my mind.

The 70 amp hour would do the job I am sure. I have a diesel & have no worries in 8 years.

Do you have STOP&GO ?
If YES you should definitely go with AGM(70AH) , if NO something like VARTA SILVER DYNAMIC 77AH should be OK.

Ask at MB dealer for price(for original) ,...price could be .......very reasonable .
I just replaced mine(C200K-2008....7,5years old ...74AH OE), and I choose mentioned SILVER DYNAMIC 77AH
