You can trust him

If I am doing the wrong thing by doing this then I apologize...
I just thought I would comment on a member on here that is selling MB Key batteries..
I bought 2 packs (4 batteries) and can confirm that the guy is trustworthy and that the batteries are genuine MB ones and unopened..

Once again, sorry if I am bending the rules..

Yawn.

Hardly worth the effort by MB - even at their normal likely markup.

I used Tesco ones last time.

Thanks for sharing. It's nice to know who the honest members are.

I once suggested some kind of user 'rep' point system, so other members knew they could buy with confidence. But I guess word of mouth is almost as effective.

I use Morrison ones,£2 each.

I thought they recharged when plugged into the ignition switch. So I've learnt something.

Great guy, paid yesterday, received this morning I would rather buy from someone on here than ebay.

 

[markjay]

Whether it actually makes sense to buy MB-branded fob batteries or not is a separate discussion - what is reassuring here is that sspeed and dog68 both had a positive experience buying from another forum member.

Not only do they not recharge, they are not used when starting the car. The car can be started without batteries in the key.

 

[Alps]

not totally correct in the case of keyless go!

true abt not recharging tho

How, there is not metal connector on the key.

The BMW ones do, its a great pity the Mercedes ones do not.

Cant the car still be started with the key without batteries with keyless go?

I didn't think we were talking keyless go.

Only in theory! In a '96 C124, if the batteries are flat, you can't switch off the immobilisor so you're stuffed.

i thought it was abt keys in general!
