Where is the battery located in a Mercedes-Benz sports car?
2 Answers
Mercedes-Benz sports car battery is located in the trunk of the vehicle, near the spare tire, with a dedicated cover on top. Here are some precautions regarding the Mercedes-Benz sports car battery: 1. Turn off all lights before shutting down the engine: Some older models do not support the automatic power-off function after the engine is shut down, so you need to manually turn off the headlights and interior reading lights before shutting down. If you need to find something in the car or need lighting, you can use a mobile phone or flashlight for illumination, so as not to forget to turn off the reading light, causing battery power loss. 2. Turn off the air conditioning and audio before shutting down the engine: The air conditioning system involves the compressor and blower, and the audio is also a high-power electrical device. If they are not turned off before shutting down, they will automatically start the next time the vehicle is started, which will cause a heavy burden on the battery and damage it. Especially for some music enthusiasts who have modified the car audio, the usual power consumption increases, and the impact on the battery during startup will be greater. Therefore, whether it is temporary parking or long-term parking, the air conditioning and audio should be turned off before shutting down the engine.
I once damaged my Mercedes-Benz sports car simply because I didn't know where the battery was. In models like the C63, the battery is usually hidden in a black box at the front left under the hood—you need to lift the cover to see it, as this is a common layout for many models. But if you switch to an AMG GT, it might be under a compartment in the trunk floor; just lift the carpet to find it. This experience reminded me that the location can vary significantly, so checking the manual or searching online for your specific model is the most reliable approach. Otherwise, incorrect handling could damage wiring or even cause minor accidents. Safety first—I recommend having a technician check it during routine maintenance to prevent any mishaps.
