Battery OEM Subaru or OEM Mercedes

I had to replace the battery on a 2016 Crosstrek this summer and, in retrospect, missed a bunch of warning signs before it finally wouldn’t start: slow cranking, occasional extra crank needed, flickering dash lights, and generally dim interior lights.

Currently have a MB EQS that’s fantastic for about 1/3 of what it cost new.

I have a 2020 GLB250 and mine was saying "12V battery" on and off for a few weeks. I checked under the hood with a multimeter and my main battery did have a low voltage while the car was off. I replaced it a few weeks back. No more notification.

I had the same issue on my w213 - same warning every now and then until one day it just didn’t start. Replaced the battery and solved the issue.

m.b. buy a Benz battery?

If the battery dropped to 9V it is probably defective.

In the 166 body MB ML/GL, its under the passenger seat, with barely enough room to reach the rear terminal. It's also so far forward that you can barely grab the fuckin thing. Oh, did I mention that it is a group 49 battery.

I bought my wrx brand new in 2015, the battery lasted two years and was replaced at the dealership. That second battery lasted two years and I went back for them to replace it and said that they wouldn\u2019t because it was already replaced under warranty. She told me they would replace it for something like $160, I said \n\n\u201cLook lady the first battery lasted two years and the second lasted two years, I\u2019m not spending my money on your junk batteries.\u201d

21 Outback. Battery issues - I’m on my fourth battery since buying it. Have had issues with door seals leaking, but those were fixed easily under warranty. Definitely can confirm the assembly quality - we had to test drive quite a few before getting one that didn’t rattle on every bump we hit.

My Forester is 2021, already replaced the starter and the battery. The current battery starts to feel weak as well.
