Just been charging the wife's W169 overnight and once disconnected from the charger the battery voltage drops down to 11.8v to 12v. Given the factory fitted battery is now circa 10 years old, it is probably time to get a new Varta battery as a preventative measure.
Question is, is there any merit in getting a more expensive AGM battery E39 (£125) vs the normal battery E44 (£75)? Additionally, the AGM comes with a 4-year warranty while the non-AGM comes with a 5-year warranty. No bothered about the £50 difference if there is an advantage.
This car is use mainly for short journeys around the suburbs of London but does not have ECO start/stop function.
Opinions and reasons welcomed.
