The battery model for the Mercedes-Benz C180 is CCA800AAGM. Background of the Mercedes-Benz C180: The Mercedes-Benz C180 is a C-Class model. Beijing Benz officially launched the C180 variant of the C-Class in June 2010, naming the model C180. It is equipped with a 1.6-liter supercharged engine, with an actual engine displacement of 1598 milliliters, which is less than 1600 milliliters. Performance of the Mercedes-Benz C180: Although the new Mercedes-Benz C180K model is only equipped with a 1.6-liter displacement engine, its maximum power and torque reach 115Kw/5200 and 230N.m/3000-4500, respectively, which are 15Kw and 50N.m higher than those of the BMW 318i with a 2.0-liter displacement. The engine of the FAW-Volkswagen Audi A4L 1.8TFSI model has a displacement of 1.8 liters and uses direct fuel injection and turbocharging technology. Compared to Mercedes-Benz's 1.6-liter supercharged engine, the difference in power and torque between the two is not significant.

I've been driving a Mercedes-Benz C180 for several years. The original battery is usually an AGM model, like the H8 specification with a capacity of 92Ah, mostly from brands like Bosch or Varta. Due to the start-stop system, this car must use an AGM battery to withstand frequent usage. I had to replace the battery for the first time in just the third year and found the price quite high, ranging from 1500 to 2000 yuan. When replacing it, don't cut corners by going to a small shop; make sure to visit a professional shop that uses diagnostic tools to reset the system, otherwise it might trigger a fault light. For daily maintenance, avoid using the radio or charging your phone after turning off the engine, as this can accelerate battery wear. Warming up the car for a few minutes before starting in winter can protect the battery and extend its lifespan to about 5 years. Long highway trips are better, ensuring sufficient charging. Safety comes first—if the battery is aging and starting becomes difficult, get it checked immediately to avoid being stranded.

The battery model for the Mercedes-Benz C180 is mostly AGM type, such as Varta F21 or similar H8 group, with a capacity of 90-95Ah. I have researched AGM technology, which uses absorbent glass mat (AGM) and is more durable than traditional lead-acid batteries, supporting start-stop functionality. A cold cranking current of over 700A is required for reliability. Battery replacement should be done by professionals as it is connected to the vehicle's computer system; improper removal may cause fault codes. It is recommended to choose original equipment or Bosch S6 alternatives, costing 1400-1800 RMB but worth it. Test the voltage or health status every six months; if it drops below 12V, prepare for replacement. Avoid frequent short trips as insufficient charging is the main cause of reduced lifespan. Regularly clean terminals and connections to prevent oxidation and corrosion.

I use a Mercedes-Benz C180 for family trips, and the original battery model commonly uses AGM, such as H8 with a capacity of 92Ah. The start-stop system relies on AGM batteries, with the Varta brand being commonly seen. When the battery fails, the car won't start, especially in winter or rainy days, which is highly dangerous. When replacing the battery, choose a compatible model and go to an authorized shop to avoid matching issues. In daily use, avoid leaving the headlights or air conditioning on for too long when the engine is off. Test the battery health during annual maintenance to prevent sudden failures that could delay picking up the kids. The battery lifespan is about 4 years; spending a bit more for peace of mind is more cost-effective than dealing with repairs afterward.
