OK, I have a 1983 300SD MB..

When I purchased the car, I got a "NEW" 1,000 CRANkING AMPS BATTERY... then it started, If the car did not start after the first few turns= "dead battery".

A.) Took the car back, did battery, alternator "check-up" results=
all ok, just the battery is discharged...so charged battery.

B.) "Same symptoms", after two days...if not start, after first few
tries="dead battery".

C.) Went back demanded "New battery", got a new one
irregardless of test results.

D.) Now guess what? Even though, the tests say alternator,
and battery, is "OK".. The battery "goes dead" after four-to
five turns..

* Note nothing is left on, or draining the battery, to my
knowledge. Checked obvious lights, trunk light etc. I even
take the head off my cd before turning it off.

Help??
