for the S's it was around 170 for the battery.

Both batteries at once is a gimmick. I still have my original MB battery in the trunk (2003) and only replaced my aux battery in November or December. I was scarred not to get OE but decided to get it from Sears. $80 some odd later and 10 min of work; all works perfectly! I will more than likely order a new main battery in the next month to have handy. I'm on borrowed time with it. Check out www.bmwmercedesparts.com for original MB and BMW parts and accs on the cheap. I have spent about 3000Gs with these guys over the last year. I'm always looking for new maintenance for my two German cars. Love it.
Hell, if I had that kind of scratch, I'd just get a new car!

my battery died on sat night when i left the lights/fog lamps on. Ended up going to the local auto store (advance auto auto gold group 49 battery) and picked up one for $138 for the main one in the trunk. 3yr full warranty and 7 yr pro rated.
I did have a ctek charger, but its my dd and didnt find out the car was dead til 5pm right before the superbowl on sunday. I'm going to see if the cteck can revive my mb battery.

Great thread
Man,
That was a great thread. I know what to expect when the wifes car battery dies. Think I will just go to Sears and get their top of the line battery. The dealer just put in a new battery a month ago before they sold us the car, so I hope to be good for a few years.
Again, awesome thread...
