Mercedes told us that the battery was going to need changed. They wanted $700 for parts and labor It lasted close to a year after their check. Watched this video and got it done within an hour. The positive terminal needed to be spread apart which was the hardest part for me. Just stick a Flathead screwdriver in it and turned it. Once we hooked the iphone up with the charging cable, it updated all the settings like time and date.

Just used this video to swap out my battery. Thanks for making the video!!

Thanks i watched your video and had my battery replaced in 10-15 minutes. TIP: raise the seat all the way up and push all the way front , plenty of room to work

Thanks too. I did exactly what you did and saved over $500. Mercedes Benz wants me to pay about $1k.

Thanks for the instruction! Helped a lot!

Thanks for your tutorial, great job!

The ‘new’ battery looked cosmetically worse than the one you replaced. Great instructions though.

Awesome video. Very informative. My battery is 12.5 volts on the multimeter. Is that good or do I need to take it out and fully charge it? And if I take it out overnight would that cause any further issues with my car’s electronics?

Is a battery saver needed? That is, if I disconnect the battery, will I lose all settings/codes?

I have a 2019 GLS 550. What is the battery that I need for the replacement? thanks.

Important: do not use a regular lead acid battery. Only use an AGM battery. They last a lot longer, are more appropriate for the high electrical loads in these vehicles, and most importantly, they don’t spill when you have a rollover accident. You don’t want battery acid splashing on you or your passengers in the unfortunate event of an accident.

The point is they're sealed

So my jumper tool failed on me in the middle of the battery replacement now my settings are all off. Any tips?

You don’t need to cut the carpet, I changed mine e twice with the original hole. Just force it a little bit, the carpet will stretch

Does the new battery need to be programmed into the car?

No, not in these vehicles. Some newer models require it but not these.

Mercedes could have placed the battery in a better location. They created this hardship

and where is the extra small battery ?? someone knows?

Refurbished batteries cost less and usually have a warranty too

Dear Mercedes... really?

Why not loosen the 4 bolts securing the seat, slide it backwards and have full access, instead of cutting the carpet and messing with a heavy and maybe acid battery i the tight compartment like this? Yes, this is the description in the owners manual, but in my opinion its's a moronic way of doing this task.
