Buying a Replacement Battery for Mercedes-Benz S500

Sadly, your Mercedes-Benz S500 won't last forever. Neither will its battery. On average, auto batteries last anywhere from three to five years. Don’t get stranded by your S500’s car battery. Replace it regularly instead! Watch for signs that your current battery is getting too old or too weak. A sluggish engine start, an illuminated check engine light or battery signal, swollen battery case, corroded battery posts, and subpar electrical performance may all indicate that your battery is on its last leg.

Answers to Your S500 Car Battery Questions

Firestone Complete Auto Care has answers to your top car battery questions. If you have battery questions that are Mercedes-Benz S500-specific, visit your nearest store. Our expert techs have the answers you need.

  • Why doesn’t my S500 battery stay charged? A battery that won't hold a charge is almost as good as dead. The battery may be too old. Or, you’ve been leaving the doors slightly open and the cabin light at night. Stop by for a complimentary battery check at your nearest Firestone Complete Auto Care and learn more about your battery's charge.
  • What happens to my old S500 battery? We recycle it! Nearly 100% of all lead-acid batteries are recyclable.
  • What’s the cost of DieHard batteries for Mercedes-Benz S500s? You can find affordable S500 batteries by using one of our car battery coupons, when available. Plus, every DieHard battery comes with extra coverage thanks to DieHard Assurance and a free replacement warranty.
  • How long is a car battery good for? You can usually get three to five years out of your car battery. However, battery type, how well you maintain your battery, and your driving habits can all affect your battery’s lifespan.
  • What is the white, crusty stuff around my S500’s battery post? A chemical reaction between battery acid and the air can cause a white, crusty buildup to form on the terminals of your S500 car battery. This buildup — known as corrosion — can impede the flow of electricity and cause a range of issues, from poor performance to premature battery failure.
  •  How do I clean corrosion off my S500 vehicle battery? You can help prevent or get rid of corrosion by regularly inspecting and cleaning your battery terminals. Before cleaning your battery, see your S500 owner's manual to learn how to disconnect the battery cables. After disconnecting the cables, use a mixture of water and baking soda, a wire brush, and a rag to carefully clean the terminals.
