Car Battery

[zjared]

Any recommendations? Any cheap and good shops that can do it for me? Driving a E250.

1. Silver Dynamic Varta?

2. Bosch?

3. Any others?

[Angchug]

Can try World Auto. Bosch agent. Personally I think their price is reasonable.

I think is Bosch Silver series. Did my B170 there at $180.00

Just call them and negotiate. Takes only 15mins to replace.

Hijack your thread a little bro. Just thought the following question could be useful to you too.

Do vehicles with start stop function require to use battery with agm technology? Are the stock battery equipped with this technology??anyone could advise?

[zjared]

Varta has start stop.

[giggss]

mine original on w204 is varta with start-stop.

after slightly less than 2 years, changed to HOPPECKE with gst near $300

I heard of this. How is it compared to Varta?

[zjared]

I check with stockist. Mercedes e250 uses varta start stop amg plus. It is a dry cell. Cost $300+GST without installation. Alternatively, you can go to their workshop in Sin ming $330 nett (after bargaining) with installation. I probably stick with this because mine is left with 47% after 4 years of using.

I have front and back + 320 gb storage + command and reverse camera. Once I had the issue of start up my car after leaving the country for 7 days but C&C check and told me there is a leakage, brought the car back to installer and ask him to fix it. After that soon soon lee lee unti now. The servicing guy say still can use la. 47% still can tahan a while. I think another 6 months bah but i scare half-way die. 

[zjared]

The battery guy say maybe i dont drive often bah. Close to 87000 km in 4 years, consider alot?? I also don't know. He also told me Mecedes need start stop, dunno how true, cannot anyhow use those cheapo one. Anyway it is way cheaper than C&C cut throat price of $700++.

Heard that Bosch spoilt very fast. I also encounter it on my previous ride too.

But price wise sound good.

Anyone tried Varta?

[serenade]

W212FL has an extra battery in the boot just for the start/stop function

How fast is spoil "very fast"?

[ginger_1907]

Within a year.

Usually if the battery last me 2 years, i will be most happy.

[F&F]

Ok... that's REALLY very fast.

i thought this is for the memory settings...?

[mecedesfish]

Was diving the W204 for almost 34 month and yesterday I encounter that I could not start my car. Lucky I manage to restart after a while and immediately drove to the battery workshop.

 

After checking the by the workshop, it was confirmed that the battery is not charging.

 

The original battery is 62Ah, 480A.

Change to a new bigger battery 80Ah, 730A, a Italy brand. cost less than $200.

Less than sgd200 is a good deal. Care to share the place you went to change?
