If you could not find a replacement, then it must have been the starter battery. If that is the case, they did charge a premium for it as I posted I got my started for $155. I ended up also getting the original MB electronics one too because I was not sure if a 3rd party battery would fit with the bracket that they use plus someone mentioned that MB uses a special acid (that is mixed with glass) for their batteries. The MB Roadside Assistence Guy said over the phone that it did not matter for the electronics, but the starter is the important one to get original MB (you can't find it outside of MB anyways).
