[W126 Coupe] Battery Selection

[Michael Ramay]

Depends... thanks to the summer heat in Phoenix and Las Vegas (think:
Surface of the Sun), batteries rarely last three years, more likely two
years. I, therefore, have a nicely warranted Walmart battery in both Benz's.
Not expensive ($70) and guaranteed for three or four years. Replace my brake
fluid, flush the anti-freeze, get new batteries.
