My brother needs to replace his 2010 s550 battery and would rather steer away from buying the battery from the stealership. We would prefer to stick to the OEM battery but I am having trouble finding his battery elsewhere.

anyone know where to buy an oem battery or have had a good experience with an aftermarket battery? i've read some threads and have read that it is important to stick with an agm battery? any input is greatly appreciated.

battery part number is : A 005 541 10 01

So no tax + free shipping + OEM battery + no dealing with stealership. win win win and win !

Good luck

You need a size H8 AGM battery. Many places sell those, like Sears, Autozone, O'Reilly, Walmart, etc. No need to spend the money on an OEM battery.

jpdaballa

thanks so much for that free shipping code!

Walmart sells the battery for your car for $140.

is there any difference between getting an aftermarket battery vs oem? walmart doesn't seem to have them in stock

T.H.Carrera

so its oem battery shipped to his door for $202 or a trip to walmart and $153 after tax for non oem.

DaveW68

Yes....the price you pay. Almost all batteries, including OEM are made by Johnson Controls. Delphi and Exide make some too.


Walmart will likely install the battery for free too.

Walmart seems like a great place to get my battery, however they can't ship it to me and they don't have it in stock (at least not in my area)

thanks for the info on the batteries. I will def look around and try to find the cheapest agm battery from one of the above mentioned suppliers

Not sure if in your area there is a Batteries plus store but i got mine there and they installed it for me for $130 total. this was my starter battery the one under the hood.

I called them up and they are going to have the battery in stock Thursday. I'm going to get it installed there but I doubt they're going to resync the sunroof, windows after. Is there a guide on how to resync any issues after the install?

xxfightclubxx

what do you mean resync sunroof and windows? i didnt have any issues at all. the guy was really helpful he wouldnt even let me help him. he wanted to change the battery himself. im like ok fine easy way to keep my hands clean. haha

jpdaballa

Which location did you go to? I read online that after replacing the battery you need to resync windows and abs by turning the wheel all the way to the left then right

i live in houston. so i went to the one off yale street. but after i replaced battery i didnt turn the wheel left or or right. i just waited bout 5min and took off. everything works fine.

Sam's club or Costco. Sam's has Duracell 3 year free replacement, hard to beat, then pro-rated after.
