2007 clk 550 convertible
newbe on the mb world

Hi all
driving since 2013 a 2007 CLK 550 convertible I joined this forum today. So far I'm happy with my MB even it has 132k Miles on the meter. I was my great wish to drive a convertible again as during my younger years when I drove a Triumph TR4A IRS, a TR6 and later a Triumph Stag with some problems.
What is strange with the MB 550, in my opinion, that it "runs" on batteries, as these are dead and must

my wish becomes true christmas 2013
replaced every two years. As I read once that the electronic for the eats may be the cause, I took the fuses out, but it still the same. I'm a snowbird in Florida over summer I live in Europe where I drive an american car, please not laugh, a 1995 Chevrolet Lumina APV (minivan) what still runs fine but not much miles as I drove it only some months every year in the time I made two circumnavigations on my sailingcatamaran.
Happy driving
