I don't understand why MB didn't put volt meters in their cars... I'll presume the light isn't on and say you need an alternator. If the light was on maybe a regulator would get it. I've NEVER gotten away with just a regulator (4 out of 5 of my MBs have needed alternators) and if I haven't replaced the battery I usually need multiple alternators until I get smart enough to replace the battery.

AAA jumped me, drove straight to O'Reilly's to get a quick and dirty alternator check. Voltage check with engine running, 11.0 volts. So....which is more that likely the culprit... alternator or voltage regulator (which I replaced 6 months ago)?.
