In my opinion you can't beat the Interstate MB88 in the diesel. I think they list for $106.00, but I'm not sure,because I buy them wholesale. Interstate Battery is owned by Johnson Control,and I'll let you in on a little secret. Do you all know or for my Texas friends do ya'll know about the white batteries that come as OEM in each new MB that used to come from Varta? Well, they are now coming from Interstate. I have seen them, but I can't buy them, because I am not a franchised dealer. I have no ties to Interstate,but they put out a top quality product. To me it is not worth it to save $ 40.00 to have my wife stranded and at risk. By the same token I can't see spending an extra $40.00 for a designer battery. This is just my observation after 30 years as a professional MB mechanic. The Interstate MB88 has stood the test of time.
