SOURCE: battery keeps dying on 2001 c 240
YOU PROBALLY HAVE A NEGATIVE POWER DRAW TO CHECK THIS USE A TESTER LIGHT AND CLIP THE WIRE TO THE POSITIVE SIDE OF BATTERY AND TOUCH THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL IF IT LIGHTS UP U HAVE A NEGATIVE POWER DRAW
SOURCE: battery on mercedes A140 drains. I drove the car
aftermarket stereo? dome lights? car alarm? Use a multimeter and see what fuse has power draw when car is off.
SOURCE: Mercedes S430
When you shut the car off something is staying on in the vehicle, causing a current draw on the battery, causing it to go dead over night. something that would cause this would be like a under the hood light, trunk light, interior light staying on. visually check it. and if you don't find anything you might want to buy a fluke/ volt meter, to check for unwanted current draw when the vehicle is off. your local mechanic could help. it could become more extensive then this but most likely not by the sounds of it.
