Information Needed.

[Freedom]

Good morning. Hope everyone is ok after the Black Friday?
Need info on how to resolve a small problem

Car: Mercedes Benz CLS350 06' (petrol)
Issue: battery symbol on dash cluster + visit workshop message
Problem identified: main battery not holding charge
(spec: 100ah, CCA 750)
MB dealer #1: can't supply this kind of a battery.
MB dealer #2: no problem, we will fit OEM, but spec will be 100ah & 850CCA! No info provided of side effect of CCA being stronger.
MB dealer #3: my car doers not exists on the Mercedes Benz UK data base!!!! WTF??!!

Q: can I fit battery to my car with stronger CCA? (CCA - cold cranking amps)

Thx!

Increase in available Cold Cranking Amps will not harm your car in any way.

The CCA being higher is absolutely fine. (Google is great source of this type of info.): https://www.batterystuff.com/kb/articles/battery-articles/battery-basics.html#4

Was your car an import?

No need for the sarcastic emoji...you asked a question...wtf? If your car had been an import that would explain why it wasn't on MBUK data base. Mine is an import...and doesn't show...smart alec. I hope they never find your car.
