Could your 2008 Mercedes-Benz SLK280 be ready for a new battery? Batteries generally need to be replaced every three to five years.

Otherwise, you may find yourself (and your trusty SLK280) stuck in the middle of nowhere. Your Mercedes-Benz SLK280 won’t even be able to start with a weak battery, much less get you where you need to go.
