The auxiliary battery of the Mercedes-Benz GLA200 is located on the right side of the engine compartment. Below are detailed introductions about the Mercedes-Benz GLA: 1.

Its dynamic and stylish design, along with a simple yet technologically advanced interior and configuration, largely meets consumers' aesthetic expectations for crossover models. 2.

I've been running an auto repair shop for over a decade and have handled numerous Mercedes-Benz GLA200 jobs. The auxiliary battery is most commonly located behind the trim panel on the right side of the spare tire well in the trunk. Open that cover, and you'll find a small battery compartment where it sits quietly. Why place it there? Primarily to support the start-stop system, ensuring smoother engine starts without occupying front cabin space. Remember to turn off the engine and engage the handbrake during inspection to avoid potential short circuits and sparks. For maintenance, it's recommended to check the connecting cables every 2-3 years as aged or loose connections may affect charging functionality. If you can't locate it precisely, the owner's manual contains diagrams for easy reference.
