Think you could be due for a new battery in your 2003 Mercedes-Benz CLK430? If your current battery is more than three years old, it may be time for a replacement (batteries typically last somewhere between three and five years).

Extremely hot or cold temperatures can take a toll on your Mercedes-Benz CLK430 battery, and so can frequent short drives. While you could wait until your battery fails and you hear the dreaded "click," you're better off replacing it before then! Otherwise, your battery could die unexpectedly, leaving you and your CLK430 stranded. Your Mercedes-Benz CLK430 could quickly go from being a trusty ride to a source of stress in a matter of minutes.
