All of the above, they're right around the corner from me, when I bought the battery for the Jetta they were $25 cheaper than anybody else, they stand by their warranties and the product is good. 10F isn't cold, we were at -10F last week, thats kinda cold. I bet Mitch has been seeing -20F which is cold, anything less than that is really cold. So no, 10F didn't kill your battery, the battery sucked and just happened to fail at 10F. -Curt From: Andrew Strasfogel <astrasfo...@gmail.com> To: Curt Raymond <curtlud...@yahoo.com>; Mercedes Discussion List <mercedes@okiebenz.com> Sent: Sunday, January 11, 2015 4:54 PM Subject: Re: [MBZ] And Battery WAS: 300D The best deal in terms of warranty or cheap price?

And BTW, 10 degrees in my neck of the woods is no warmer than 10 degrees in Curt-ville.

For the same money you could probably get an MB Battery from one of the Stealers who offer great discounts to MBCA members. Or for 50-75% you can buy one from advance auto with the online discount. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com All posts are the result of individual contributors and as such, those individuals are responsible for the content of the post.
