Where is the battery located in the Mercedes-Benz GLC260?
2 Answers
The battery of the Mercedes-Benz GLC260 is located under the floor of the trunk. Simply open the trunk floor to see it. Battery replacement method: First, open the battery compartment. You will see a fixed bar secured on top of the battery. Use an 8mm wrench to loosen and remove it. Start by disconnecting the positive terminal, followed by the negative terminal. Then, place the new battery in position to complete the replacement. Precautions for battery replacement: The reason for disconnecting the positive terminal first is that it can react when it comes into contact with metal, most commonly causing sparks, which may burn the contact area. Therefore, be careful not to let the positive terminal touch any other metal during the removal process.
As an owner of a Mercedes-Benz GLC 260, I noticed during a previous battery replacement that its location is in the front right corner under the hood, near the windshield. You need to open the engine compartment cover, and the battery is located beneath the black plastic casing on the front right side—just pry open the small cover to access it. This positioning is designed to facilitate engine compartment cooling and connection to the vehicle's electrical system, unlike some cars that place it in the trunk, taking up space. When replacing, be cautious: first disconnect the negative terminal to prevent short circuits, then install the new battery ensuring correct polarity. For routine maintenance, remember to check the battery terminals every six months for corrosion or looseness, and apply petroleum jelly to prevent oxidation. If unsure, refer to the diagrams in the user manual or seek assistance from a 4S店—the battery location is fixed, but slight variations may exist across different model years, so pay attention.
