Looks like it's time to find a new default for buying replacement batteries. Can you still call the MB help line and get a new one installed for $118, like the battery thread on this site says? Anyone know???

Either that or buying an Interstate for about $100 seems like a better idea than going to either Autozoo or Pep Boys, assuming the Interstate has a comparable warranty.
