Hi all,
I am looking to purchase a Genuine Mercedes Benz battery for my 1990 300E.
I did a search and there were 2 batteries listed one was 74 AMPS and one was
100 AMPS. I curretly have the smaller one but wanted to find out what is the
difference. Also I would consider other batteries
Are you talking about the Orion P3 folks?

The higher amp battery is probably for those who live in cold climates.
I have noticed that living in the south the batteries of the same
physical size have lower CCA ratings than the ones sold in the north lands.

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

Yes.
CCA is measured at 0°F
CA is measured at 0°C (cranking amps)
A 1000 CA battery is probably around 750-850 CCA.
