Craig I could not find the CCA rating on the current genuine Mercedes Battery that is in the car. All I see is a sticker with "74 Amp Battery" #A005 541 20 01 Made in Spain.
Then I went on a web site www.genuinemercedesparts.com and they listed two batteries for my car 74 Amp & 100 Amp with no part numbers? Although I have been fanatical about using Genuine Mercedes parts I would consider suggestions.

The Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) Rich mentioned are usually in the hundreds, with 740 and 1000 CCA being usual numbers. The Ampere-Hour capacity for a battery will be in the region you mentioned. Are you buying the Genuine Mercedes Benz because that's the easiest? Since all automobile starting batteries are made by a very few companies, you could get an equal quality battery less expensively elsewhere.
