Unhappy Unusual "NO START" issue... '03 C240

The Mrs commute car went haywire yesterday... I'm seeking any advice/suggestion you'd have to offer, before the car gets towed to the stealership. TSB checked, found only one possible fault

Intermittent hard starting issue started about a week ago, symptom indicating a dead battery (so I thought), jump started to no avail., heres the rundown...

Drastic voltage drop @7.2V when attempting to start; NO click what so ever, dome/courtesy lights starts to flicker, moon roof stuck open, and all LED warning light indicators illuminates.

Following faults appears on VDO screen as well.
>DTR
>SRS
>High Beam
>Low brake fluid
>Temperature will read 185*F

Screen will then go blank and repeats the sequence (same above scenario occurs even when the vehicle is being jumped)... everything goes back to normal voltage @12.45V (no load) once the key is removed from the ignition

Things I've checked/tested so far...

Battery posts/terminals are clean and corrosion free.
Battery fluid levels in all eight chambers are at normal level.
Battery will read 12.45V with no load.
Battery will read 14.58V when being jumped.
ALL fuses checked; trunk and engine bay.

I thank you in advance
