I 'nursed' the second MB brand battery my '99 E300TD needed toward it's end. I would charge it and be certain the wet cells were catered to, and the damm thing still didn't last 5 years! This, the third MB brand battery, I'm letting it go to fail, and then replace it - if I still own the car.
I may be selling it (the '99 E300TD) if I replace it with a 2008 E320 Bluetec I'm pending on purchasing right now.
