Where is the battery located in the Mercedes ML350?
2 Answers
The battery of the Mercedes ML350 is located under the front passenger seat. You need to move the seat all the way forward or backward and remove the cover plate to access it. During the battery replacement process for the Mercedes ML350, the power must not be interrupted, otherwise the vehicle's computer will be locked. To maintain continuous power supply to the entire vehicle, the new battery should be fully charged, and a jump-start method should be used during the replacement. The Mercedes ML350 features a double-wishbone independent front suspension and a multi-link independent rear suspension, which enhances the vehicle's handling. In terms of dimensions, the car measures 4781mm in length, 1911mm in width, and 1815mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2915mm.
Last time I repaired a Mercedes-Benz ML350, its battery was hidden in the trunk at the rear of the car, either next to or beneath the spare tire under a cover. Open the trunk door, move aside some miscellaneous items, and lift the right-side floor cover or spare tire well cover to reveal the battery. This design is primarily for achieving a balanced weight distribution between the front and rear of the vehicle, making it more stable to drive. When replacing the battery yourself, always disconnect the negative cable first to avoid the risk of short circuits and potential damage to electronic devices. After installing a new battery, the radio or navigation system may reset, so you'll just need to reconfigure them. During regular maintenance, check for corrosion on the cable connections, as the hidden location makes this easy to overlook. Remember to wear gloves for safety—battery acid can harm your skin, so handle it carefully. If you're not familiar with the tools, it's best not to force it and instead seek a professional mechanic.
