Thanks for your help,

I wanted to add a black cover to the negative post on the battery, similar to the factory red one that came with the Varta battery. I stopped in my local Mercedes service department and asked them if they had any spares. They pulled a red one off an old battery and gave it to me for free, took it home and sanded off the + and painted it semi gloss black and now matches my original red cover. Our batteries never came with a negative battery post cover from the factory.
Free is good.....
