Best $$$$ value Main Battery

My 2004 E320 with 60K miles is operating on the original main battery. Who has the best replacement battery for the $$$$. I replaced the small under the hood battery last year and got that from Batteries Plus. I realize that there are three major battery manufactures in the USA. I also have to be concerned with not loosing all of my electronic settings when installing the new battery. Thanks...

You know I like to do my own stuff too,but I learned that you can call mb roadside assist they will come to you and replace your battery and the cost is very reasonable. Give the 800 # a call.

AutoZone's DuraLast batteries have very good reviews in Consumer Report. They have an AGM for $159.99 with a 3 yr warranty and a DLG for $134.99 with an 8 yr warranty. I also know that NAPA carries Deka. My concern is are they experienced in installing the batteries. AutoZone does mention that the installation could take up 30 minutes. Maybe they do know the proper routine for removal and installation of MB batteries. Best answer is to ask up front "have you done this before"?

Does anyone know what MB roadside assistance charges these days?

My w210 wagon was about $200. A few years ago, I went to the dealer for a part and when I asked about a new battery he told me about roadside assist.
Great service very reasonable price. Tire change jump start all that stuff.

Thanks! Does the battery have the Mercedes logo or do you remember who it is made by?

The battery from MB Roadside is around 249+tax. The installation is free
They charge you for the battery as much as the dealership they come from.
And yes, it has an MB logo
