Our technicians use OEM or OEM-equivalent batteries that match Mercedes-Benz electrical standards, reducing the risk of auxiliary electrical faults and ensuring consistent starting and accessory operation. We also advise on environmental impacts—proper recycling and disposal—and on how battery chemistry affects maintenance intervals. Choosing the right battery type at the dealership optimizes vehicle reliability and minimizes total ownership cost.

At Park Place Motorcars Fort Worth our service advisors check your vehicle’s build data and verify the precise group size, CCA rating, and reserve capacity required. We carry correct-fit options and, when necessary, order the exact OEM battery so you receive a unit that fits perfectly and delivers designed performance.
