Where is the battery located in the Mercedes-Benz R300?

The battery of the Mercedes-Benz R350 is located under the front passenger seat, specifically beneath the co-driver's seat. To access it, you need to remove the carpet under the seat and the protective cover above the battery. Here is some relevant information about car batteries: 1. Electrolyte should be added appropriately: The electrolyte level should always be maintained between max and min. Check it monthly and replenish with distilled water (pure water) as needed based on the level drop. Never add acid. 2. Timely recharging: When the battery voltage is insufficient, and the lights are dim or the engine struggles to start, perform an external recharge promptly. Avoid overcharging or prolonged undercharging, as overcharging can cause active material to fall off, while undercharging can lead to sulfation of the plates. Ensure the regulator voltage is neither too high nor too low.
I remember the battery location of the Mercedes-Benz R300 very clearly. As a veteran driver with over a decade of experience driving Mercedes, their batteries are typically hidden in the engine compartment, specifically on the driver's side near the firewall after opening the hood. The Mercedes lineup prefers this layout—it makes better use of the front space for heat dissipation and also facilitates easier access for mechanics. Last time I helped a neighbor check, if you can't find it, remember to inspect under the trunk floor or beneath the passenger seat in case of model variations. Don't just focus on the location—when replacing the battery, wear insulated gloves to avoid electric shock, as beginners often panic. Additionally, batteries degrade over time when their lifespan ends, so regular maintenance can prevent roadside breakdowns. In short, locating it is just the first step—safety comes first. If unsure, always seek professional assistance.
