Mechanic (or Battery knowledgeable people) advice needed!
Hello fellow MB lovers,
Vehicle: 2006 ML500
Note: The car was driven 30 minutes to the dealership
I had my battery tested yesterday and the readout was as follows:
FAST CHARGE
Voltage: 12.360
Rated: 950 A(EN)
Capacity: 90 AH
Temperature: 28 degrees C
Vehicle Type: Car/Van
Location: In Vehicle
Battery Type: VRLA
The dealership told me that I needed a new battery, but I want a second opinion before dropping money on a new batteries.
Any help would be appreciated

I have been working on cars enough to know a lot of times even if a battery bench tests fine if it is older than a few years it is probably time for a replacement. Mercedes batteries should last longer, closer to 4-5 years because they are higher quality. Auto parts store batteries are cheaper quality and I usually only trust them 2-3 years.
How old is your battery? I would go ahead and replace both the auxiliary and the main battery for peace of mind if your current battery is OEM and older than 4-5 years or otherwise if you don't know how old it is.
