it does make the battery last longer

Its pretty simple, all designed to insure dealer service revenue. Mercedes is very good at making things difficult for the majority of customers to give in and go to a dealer. I have two models, they love it when you drive through the door and pay $150 an hour for what should be simple tasks. Thanks to these videos many of us can bypass the dealer system.

Because Mercedes-Benz dealership is smart. Unfortunately for them they didn't count on RU-vid videos like this. 🙃

@@mkb7001 Then why not put it in the trunk away from the passengers? You still get protection from extreme temperatures and not have a potential bomb sitting under you.

Use a pry bar and slide the battery up to take out and the opposite to reinstall

Hi - Thanks for watching! Exactly. In Europe, where this kind of battery placement started, we're told that the batteries lasted up to 4 times longer than batteries mounted under the hood.

where's the aux battery?

@@mkb7001 under the carpet under the front seat. Very hard to reach and service.

@@TheBatteryShop I bought a new battery yesterday and the motor is fine. That battery is almost as bad to change as the Chrysler Sebring. Nightmare lol

Hi, I have to do this job in the near future, did you use a memory saver also? or did you do a straight replacement without adverse effects. I have read elsewhere that disconnecting the battery would cause the car to lose some of its functions.

@@shino8854 Did you watch this video?

@uhチュンチュンマル Yeah, thanks, I did the job a few months ago, it was a straight battery replacement.

Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience! We suggest that you check with a service/repair manual for the vehicle for diagnostic and repair information.

Thank you for watching. We used an OBDII compatible memory saver to save presets while the battery exchanges takes place.

Exactly

Hi - Thanks for watching! We have not used a trickle charger in that application so we don't know for sure. We suggest that you check a service/repair manual for the proper memory saving procedure.

No. Same as LHD.

@@TheBatteryShop my pleasure.

Hi - the battery that we removed was an H8 group size. It has a length of 353mm.

It means that your battery left the manufacturing facility during the 23rd week of 2013.

Hi - Thanks for watching! A 12-volt battery connected to the "jump posts" under the hood will supply power to move the seats, as well as keeping the computers memories alive during the battery replacement. Check the vehicle owner's manual for more detailed information.

Hi - Thanks for watching! We recommend that you check the vehicle owner's manual for information on using the "jump posts" under the hood where another 12-volt battery can be connected to supply power.

Hi - Thanks for watching! Please check out our video on Memory Saving for answers to you question. The link is in this video’s description.

Hi - Thanks for watching! According to BCI, a reset is not necessary, but you must check with the vehicle owner's manual or a service/repair manual for the vehicle to be sure.

You're meant to attach a jump pack or something and hook it up to the jump posts under the hood. Meanwhile in other cars you just pop open the hood and swap out the battery in the engine bay. God forbid that you have an electrically operated hood latch for whatever godforsaken reason the manufacturer had.

That’s because he a Master and there’s a reason shops charge 100-400$ to do it. It is semi difficult but not impossible You have to approach it knowing what your getting involved with

LOL Empty plastic box prop battery. ;)

Thank you for watching. Many newer vehicles do require a battery registration process after a new battery is installed. We would recommend to consult the dealer or mechanic for proper registration guidance.

Hi - Thanks for watching! We don't have that information here in the studio so we suggest that you check with a service/repair manual available from the dealership parts department, auto parts stores, online subscription data bases and some public libraries.

Hi - Thanks for watching! Based on your experience, we suggest that you check for a parasitic draw to see if that is what is causing your "leaking electricity" issue.

Hi - Thanks for watching! The power supply for the memory saver will move the seat.

Is there a video on how to power the seat if the battery is dead? I really need to get the battery but the seat won’t move.

@@TheBatteryShop thank you for that. Unfortunately I don’t have a memory saver and the battery is dead so I’ll have to figure out a work around. Thank you for your reply.

I threw jumper cables on from another vehicle to “jump” the car...gave just enough power to allow moving seat forward. But seriously, who makes it this tough to replace a battery? Mercedes doesn’t have the consumer in mind.

@@steventisdol4156 Connect new battery as jump start to move the seat

@@danielryan4157 No manufacturer has the customer in mind as far as repair is concerned. Ease of manufacturing and cost savings is what matters at the manufacturing level

This would be good to know?!?!

Hola - Gracias por ver! Se debe utilizar el tamaño adecuado del grupo y la batería con clasificación CCA. El Mercedes ML350 con un motor de gasolina utilizado en el vídeo necesita una batería del Grupo 49 AGM 850 CCA. Le recomendamos que revise el manual del propietario del vehículo para obtener la batería adecuada para el vehículo.

@@TheBatteryShop gracias hermano

Hi - Thanks for watching! Use the "jump terminals" under the hood. Check the vehicle owner's manual for location and instruction.

The trunk doesn’t stay closed

Hi - Thanks for watching! The vehicle's computers may need a reset using a scan tool equipped with the proper software for your vehicle. The dealership and certified repair facilities should have one.

*Not all are like this lol! I have an S class and it is in the trunk. You just lift the rug and underneath where you would normally have a spare tire but more to the right!* (No need for ANY box cutters). _However, i do hear you though! This is TOTAL and ABSOLUTE MADNESS! I have an R-class as well; and i only realized this craziness one day when i had left my lights on overnight and needed a jump. So the “jumping” driver believes in putting at least one end onto the actual battery (or something like that, am a lady who has zero knowledge). Well anyway, he asked me where the battery was and I said I didn’t know lol but to try the trunk since the S-class has it in the trunk. Not a chance!_ He finally spotted the “jumping” terminals under the hood and ended up jumping it. After he was done, he told me, “I’m still kinda curious where the F your battery is, so I’ll google it because I know for a fact it is not underneath this hood or back there!” I was definitely curious as well! We found a similar vid on Ytube and our jaws both dropped to the floor. I guess he had never jumped an R-class (or M-class above!). I was like wait, whaaaaaat? He said to me, “no wonder people complain the Mercedes Benz’s repair shops cost an arm and a leg, yeah, I would charge your first born too if i had to deal with this thing on a frequent basis! This is what some genius German engineers came up with? They can keep it!” He got me cracking up and i told him he doesn’t even know the half of it! _I told him you can’t change a fluid like transmission fluid at home or even at your local Walmart on most of these Benzes! I told him you need a specific tool to pry open a little red tip. If you use just any tool to pry it off, it will break off and fall INSIDE! He said you’re kidding. I said, NO. And when you realize they did that on purpose so that you don’t mess with it and only take it to the dealership, you leave well alone even if you find it on Amazon, coz you’re sure you’ll fuqQ up and break that little red fragile tip! And don’t even get me started on how you can’t easily add something as silly as windshield washer fluid! I was thinking, why is this empty, when I first got one of them used. I looked for the thing and it’s on the grill somewhat anyway!_ *And it is not an upright container! In order to get into the reservoir, you have to go through this very narrow opening then a somewhat coiled S-tube, which then feeds into that reservoir which is like at some odd 45° angle or something like that! The moment I opened underneath the hood to try and fill, I figured out why that last owner had not bothered filling it especially if he knew he was planning on selling that car. I was unable to fill it then as well. (Had to get very creative later). I don’t even know why am on my 2nd & 3rd Benz, it’s INSANITY!*

Mine is being replaced today by a local independent Benz/Lexus shop (not dealership). They quoted me $509 for both the main battery and the auxiliary battery.

I just done on my 2014 ML350. It is hard to take battery out (need some wiggling and pull hard) but doable. The whole job took me about 45 mins though.

You need to use a pry bar to leverage lift it up and out

The Battery Shop not with my car haha tried to move seat hasn’t moved

If you didn't use another 12 volt battery connected to the vehicles jump posts (with jumper cables) we suggest that you try that.

Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience! It's also worth mentioning that our advice - "before you begin we suggest that you check with a service manual for the vehicle to be sure you are familiar with the project, have everything that you need, you don't forget anything and you can safely and efficiently replace the battery".

I mean heck an even simpler solution here… if you don’t see the plastic cover shown under the seat it’s probably not straight up under the carpet like a sealed tomb 😐

Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your experience!

Hi - Thanks for watching! Dealer will probably cut the carpet as it is the dealership's repair manual. There are marks on the carpet showing where to cut.

It’s the “starting battery”. Auxiliary is in the trunk.

Good news, the battery lasts about 7 years, so you may only change once or twice during the life of the car.
