The battery of the older version Mercedes-Benz S500 is located under the protective pad on the right side under the hood, while the newer version Mercedes-Benz S500 uses a polymer battery, positioned at the upper left corner of the hood. Below are the specific details of the Mercedes-Benz S500: 1. The Mercedes-Benz S500 is a sedan with body dimensions of 5159mm in length, 1854mm in width, and 1453mm in height. 2. The hybrid drive system of this model consists of a powerful eight-cylinder gasoline engine and a high-torque electric motor, operating in an economical manner to minimize environmental impact. 3. The car is equipped with a 7-speed automatic transmission, with a top speed of 250 km/h, and front and rear wheel tracks of 1574.8mm each.
I've been driving a Mercedes-Benz S500 for a long time. The battery is usually located under the floor on the right side of the trunk. Lift the carpet, and you'll find a compartment with a cover. With some care, you can operate it directly. It's designed in that position for the vehicle's weight distribution balance and to avoid the high temperatures in the engine compartment affecting the battery's lifespan. When checking, always disconnect the negative terminal first to prevent short circuits and burning out the electrical system. Use a wrench or screwdriver to gently loosen the fixing clamp. If the battery is aging and starts slowly, it might be due to a lack of charge or terminal corrosion. Regularly measure the voltage to prevent breakdowns. The trunk space is spacious, so when you're working, make sure not to block the luggage compartment—safety first, and wearing gloves is even safer. Sometimes, in older models, the battery is placed at the rear left of the engine compartment, but the trunk solution is more common. If you're replacing it yourself, make sure to choose the correct model to avoid mistakes.
