some Mercedes benz require you to have constant battery flow while changing batteries. If you do not it does something to the computer and you have to reboot it. I do not know what exactly they do but I know my 2014 did not require the constant power supply. Someone here might know what you have to reboot. You do not have to get a agm battery that is not the problem.

Have you scanned the car for codes ? Easiest way to start would be to get it scanned for codes, then see what codes are present and go from there.
As I understand then your engine turns over but does not turn on ? Or the engine doesnt even turn over when you turn key ?

If it cranks but does not fire (start running) then it't not a battery issue. It's most likely a fuel delivery problem. It could be a bad fuel pump, pump relay, or even a bad CPS (no signal from the CPS and the ECU will deactivate the fuel pump).
