Replacement Battery
Just cranked my engine and found out the battery is dead. Is there any special reason to buy a MB battery or can I go get a battery from a Kragen type store?
As a note...this happened in very suspicious circumstances after my recent B Service. Any possibilities that something onboard is discharging the battery on it's own? I drove the car last Thur without a problem and now the battery is dead

Thanks everyone for the input.
I decided to call MB Roadside Assist. He came and replaced the battery (my dead one was circa '99). Only paid for the battery. No labor charges...sweet!
Now I hope it was only the old battery and not my car draining it on it's own.
