If you want to avoid an inconvenient “no-start” emergency it’s a good idea to have your battery checked regularly, preferable twice a year. Here are the top ten reasons for having your battery tested today:

10. You can’t tell how much life is left in your battery by just looking at it.

9. Your battery is 3 or more years old, particularly if you live in a warmer climate.

8. Very cold weather is expected soon and can cause starting troubles. Cold weather exposes the real condition of a battery. As it gets colder, vehicles become harder to start and batteries become less efficient in producing power. This one-two combination will knockout a weak battery and potentially cause a no-start.

7. There’s a slight pause between your turn of the starting key and the turn of the engine.

6. The engine just doesn’t seem to crank as fast as it used to.

5. Your vehicle recently needed a jump start.

4. There’s corrosion around the battery posts & cables.

3. You don’t want to take the chance of having to buy something other than a Genuine Mercedes-Benz Battery in case of a no-start emergency.

2. You prefer to regularly maintain your vehicle, rather than wait for something to fail.

… And the number one reason for having your battery tested today:

1. Batteries never die when it is convenient!

When you have your Mercedes-Benz dealer check your battery condition with their Mercedes-Benz battery analyzer, you no longer have to wait for a battery to fail. Now you’ll know when it needs to be replaced.
