The battery of the Mercedes-Benz ML350 is located under the seat. You need to move the seat all the way forward or backward to remove the cover plate and see it. The cover plate should be removed from the rear first. When the car battery is dead, there are usually the following signs: 1. The engine won't start, and you hear a squeaking sound when trying to ignite; 2. Open the engine hood and observe the inspection hole on the battery - green indicates good condition, while black means there's a problem; 3. The battery warning light and engine warning light on the dashboard will illuminate. The dimensions of the Mercedes-Benz ML350 are 4844mm in length, 1926mm in width, and 1796mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2915mm. The ML350 features front-engine, four-wheel drive with a full-time 4WD system. The front suspension is a double-wishbone independent suspension, and the rear suspension is a multi-link independent suspension.
I drove that car for several years, and the battery location of the Mercedes-Benz ML350 is quite special. The first time the car ran out of power, I foolishly searched around the engine compartment for a long time but found nothing. Later, I learned that it was hidden in the right corner of the trunk. Lift the carpet, and you'll see a plastic cover. Pry it open, and the battery is right there. Why put it there? The designers said it's to avoid the high temperature of the engine, making the battery last longer. I also noticed there's space next to the spare tire, perfect for keeping a jumper cable pack for emergencies. Before every road trip, I lift the cover to check if the connections are loose, which significantly reduces the chances of a dead battery. Regularly checking the voltage is also important. I recommend using a multimeter to test it, about once every six months.
