What is wrong with the MB Battery? My other car had a aftermarket one and it was 2 years old but was marginal at best. My next MB had an MB battery in it and so does my E300.

I have had the worst luck with batteries so I don't feel I need to tempt fate any further. Bought an BRAND NEW 91 Firebird. 2 weeks later, battery died. They checked the charging system but no faults were found. 6 months later, SSDD. The service manager could not believe it. He checked the battery and charging system himself. 2 months later, "One more time, baby". After that, it seemed to settle down.

I check the battery and charging system every winter twice. Once in the beginning and once in the middle
