Question Car battery opinions...

I'm in the process of replacing my car battery on my '04 e500. I'm considering either duralast or bosch any opinions?

Autozone - Duralast $99-$130
PepBoys - Bosch $99

Dealaer - $253

I'm open to other brands if anyone has any suggestions.

sams clubs,some costcos,interstate batteries,call mb roadside it is free for life for any mb owner and often since they come to you and charge no labor on the roadside install,check what the cost will be.It is always less than going to the dealer.

Make sure that the replacement battery has the OE tabs at the base to hold it down..Some aftermarket batteries do NOT have the tab..Therefore the battery will not be secured

Dont forget the back up battery under the hood

Call roadside assistance first, they are pretty reasonable and the OEM batteries are very high quality. If you are going generic, Costco has the best deals on batteries.

They do not have a lifetime warranty, I would buy any battery that does though.
