Any local auto parts store will have one for cheaper than the dealer

This place is a joke.
Go with the o.e.m. Glassmat deep cycle battery. Yes its not cheap, but you will avoid many problems in the future. It will fit and function perfectly. These cars are very sensitive to batteries and electrical faults.It will also outlast anything you buy from the auto parts store. I have seen the oem batteries last 7 years,but 4 or 5 is more typical...or buy that cheaper battery and pay again every 2-3 years. Call MB roadside assistance they will come out and install it for free.

Thanks...I know auto part stores would have one that would work but I like to stay OEM if possible.

If there are a few dealers in your area, call around for pricing. It can vary between dealers. Also ask them what the MSRP is on that battery. Some dealers mark up over the mark up.
