I doubt the E55 would have a bigger battery than our diesels....no glow plugs or enormous starter to run...although the V8 starter is probably fairly large. Unless its just to have a huge reserve for the bazillions of computers on board.  |
The new MB's use glass matt batteries which are sealed and cost more, most have two actualy.
MB makes life pretty simple though, they only use a handfull of batteries. From W210 backwards they all use pretty much the same battery, the group 93. The newer ones can get a bit confusing, but a 93 should work for 95% of the older cars.
