New front (aux) battery for E320 2003

Does anyone have a line on a new front (aux) battery for an 03 E320? Tried to order thru Parts.com and got a email saying they could not ship due to hazardous materials. Found one on MB for $224 plus tax and shipping. Seems a little steep for such a small battery.

Where are you located?

Do you have a pepboys?

Is a $100 too much?

Do a search and you will find a lot of info, from changing to sourcing the battery.

Located in Nashville, TN. $100 for that battery is a better price than parts.com was charging me - they wanted $164 including tax and shipping - then said they would not ship. I dont know if there is a pepboys around here but I'll check that out. I have googled this battery and many hits come back, but nothing with a positive source. Any other possibilities?

Hey guys, I ended up purchasing TX14-BS AGM Maintenance Free Battery on amazon.com The one you posted isn't available any longer. This looks to be the closest in size and description. Hope this works - I'll post a comment on the outcome. Thanks for your direction, I really appreciate it!!

Not at the dealership in Nashville! $105 just to put the car on the computer to identify the problem then over $200 for a new battery - $325 is too much for a battery the size of my riding mower's battery! Bought mine on amazon.com for $55.
