2010 e63 AMG
I am looking to buy a 2010 e63 AMG. Seems like everyone I have looked at has had the battery replaced several times in the last 3 years; all with low miles......Do the 2010 have electrical or any other problems, should I be looking at a different year? Different model? I sold my 06 cl55 AMG and really miss it...Want another AMG.
Thx for the help.

Are you strictly looking at used cars? No 2013 e63? or 2014 all wheel drive?
I ask because I only have experience with the 2012 e63, although it is a very similar car to the 2010

I haven't had any battery problems...but knocking on wood. Whenever I can, I connect my batteryminder in the garage to the battery. The W212 E is a real electric hog, even when parked.

I've had no electrical problems but have had the battery replaced. As someone else said here, the car is an electric hog. If your're buying cpo, you should be buying the extended warranty from MB as well. 3 gs for 3 extra years. Well worth it for these cars. Then you won't have to worry about the battery or the electricAl

Yes, "BatteryMinder," which is a competitor to the well-known "BatteryTender." I bought it 7 years ago when shopping for one and, after some research, thought BatteryMinder to be better. It has worked great.
Does that mean I get a free battery when the battery goes dud? It will be good if yes since it's hard to find a place that sells Varta or similar replacement.

Per dealer, the 4-years factory warranty will cover the battery. After that, it's around $325 a pop for the oem Varta gel battery.

My 10 had the small size Group 48 battery.
AMG probably wanted to save the 15lb of weight.
The full size Group 49 battery fits in the tray, so I changed to an Odyssey AGM in the larger Group 49 size.

The dealer also gave me a new Varta ,under warranty, but I shelved it as a spare.
