Where is the battery located in the Mercedes-Benz GLE320?

The battery of the Mercedes-Benz GLE320 is located in the center under the hood. Below are some battery maintenance tips: 1. Avoid prolonged parking: The car battery will self-discharge when left unused for extended periods. It is recommended to drive the vehicle at least once a week for a minimum of 20 minutes to allow the battery to recharge while driving. 2. Close windows before turning off the engine: The power windows and sunroof rely on the battery for operation. Therefore, it is advisable to close all windows before turning off the engine, rather than after, or using the long-press lock button method to close them after exiting the vehicle. 3. Keep the battery clean: Regular inspections are an effective way to extend the battery's lifespan. Use a professional battery terminal brush or an old toothbrush to clean dust and corrosion from the positive and negative terminals. Applying a layer of Vaseline or grease to the contact surfaces can form a protective film.
I have experience locating the battery in a Mercedes-Benz GLE320 - it's typically in the trunk. After opening the trunk lid, lift the foam mat or carpet at the bottom. On the right side near the edge, you'll find a small cover or compartment. Removing this will reveal the installed battery. Mercedes positions the battery in the trunk to free up engine compartment space for more complex components. When replacing the battery, always turn off the engine and disconnect the negative terminal first to prevent short-circuit fire hazards. I recommend regular battery checks - replace immediately if voltage drops or terminal corrosion appears. I've personally upgraded to an AGM battery which lasts longer and better matches Mercedes' electronic systems to prevent configuration issues. While the location is convenient, always consult the manual before working to avoid mistakes.
