How many AMPs the battery should be for 560SEL 1989?
I wounder what is the best AMPs for the battery that I should install on my 560SEL 1989.
I don't know about the dynamo (alternator) but I guess it's 80 Ampere. The original Mercedes battery is arround 100$ and it's 100 Ampere. Shall I buy it or buy the 75 Ampere one? My last question, what is the best battery brand?

All W126's use the same battery. Interstates number is MTP-93.
Autozone's lists for $65 Interstates 84 month battery lists for $110 MB's is $110 also. Take your pick all these work fine. Don't forget Sears Diehards as well.

I have bought replacement batteries for my '91 420SEL at both the local M-B dealer, and also Autolite/Exide brand at Kragens. I have been happier with the one from Kragen, and it is a lot cheaper as well ($69 versus $110 or $120). This is for a 84-month battery - I forget the cold-cranking amp rating. BTW the group number is 49 (for the correct size and terminal placement).

Where are you located? I'm guessing it's not the USA, because we use a different battery rating system. For example, the Interstate MTP-93 is rated at 850 CCA (cold cranking amps).
Buy the 100 ampere battery. It will last longer and give you stronger cold starts.
