Mercedes ML320CDI 2008
Cranking but failing to catch

Please help me identify the problem on my ML320 CDI 2008. Came back from an overseas trip, car was standing for over a week. Started without any issues and drove to work, after parking the car I came back after 10 minutes, the car started cranking and was failing to catch, after switching the ignition the wipers went off (not sure if relevant to identify the problem). I left the car for about 2 hours and after coming back it started up without any issues again.

If no problems now you probably had low voltage.

Do you go on trips a lot and leave the car sit?
Investing in a trickle charger and a portable power station may be worth it to you.
Something like this would be perfect
