How can Mercedes battery regain full power?

1996 Mercedes C220 battery dead for about 2-3 days with temperatures in single digits to 20s. Tried jumping on Day 3, but still will not start, but accepting power from other car. When battery cables attached to other car, battery light on dashboard comes on, window & doors able to work, but engine still does not turn over. What else needs to be done?

If you are sure that the cables are ok, replace the battery. When they lose charge in cold weather that is below freezing, they freeze. The ice ruins them internally.

Mercedes c220 auto 1995. car will not go over 70

93-95 Mb was forced to use biodegradable insulation on its wiring in there cars by the US. Try looking at the engine wiring harness because they can short out. Also the Throttle assembly has the same wiring, it would cause all those problems.
