Maybe it's time to find a new auto battery for your 1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SEL. Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years.

Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your 560SEL stranded. Your Mercedes-Benz 560SEL could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
