This just happened to me last month on my 2017 C43 on the OEM battery. I guess five years is typical on these newer MB.
Pros: five years typical
Owner reviews for battery

I've had good luck with Bosch (made by Varta iirc) and Yuasa.
Pros: good luck
Varta is pretty good
Pros: pretty good
Vehicle:

When I needed a new battery for my Golf mk6, they were the cheapest and I had peace of mind because I was given the OEM approved brand.
Pros: cheapest, OEM approved
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Just replaced this battery in my Leon. Got the Bosch 096 agm for £127 from Tayna batteries on eBay.
The original Varta battery lasted 11 years and still worked but began showing signs it needed replacing.
Pros: long lasting, still worked
Cons: showed signs of needing replacement
Vehicle:
Seat Leon
Part number: 096
Halfords stock Yuasa which I've never had a problem with
Pros: no problems experienced
Vehicle:
Fiat Panda
Change it when it can no longer meat a battery test to spec, which has good margin before it starts causing issues, like freaked out ECU or hard starting.
Pros: good margin before issues
Cons: freaked out ECU, hard starting
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I've had this error on my own SR/F back in 2019 and they tried to fix it twice. Once at Zero HQ (NL) and the second time at my dealer. I think it was OK after that second attempt. But this and some other issues made me sell it and get an Energica instead.
I went through 3 red tops within 2 years because of bad cells.
Cons: bad cells, short lifespan
Some of these OEM batteries they choose to use are shit.
Cons: OEM batteries are bad
Vehicle:
Honda
