Correct Battery for 2002 CL55 ?

[Ferg]

Hello

I want to replace the battery on my '02 CL55, but am getting conflicting advice, so would appreciate some help please. I read on one retailer's website that the Bosch S5 type 019 is suitable, but was told by another that it wasn't and that I needed the EXIDE EK920 AGM GEL - also type 019. There's a big difference in price, so I wold like to make sure I get the correct one.

I would prefer a Bosch/Exide/Varta if possible - any advice from CL55 owners would be much appreciated.

Thanks

The AGM battery is the correct one for the 55 engine.
Have you had a quote from the dealer yet? They are very competitive on price.

Thanks for the quick response - not sure which one you mean though, could you give me some more info please ?

DOH ! I didn't notice that the Exide had AGM in the title, sorry. Is about £170 the right price to pay ?

well that worked a treat ! Phoned my local MB dealership who kindly delivered an oem AGM model battery to my house within 3 hours and charged me £25 less than the best price I found anywhere else - result

Always try the dealer before you go elsewhere, it's the "eBay disease" where people automatically assume because it's not from the main source it'll automatically be cheaper.

Certain motor parts factors have made a killing in this way.
