Where is the start-stop battery located in the Mercedes-Benz GLE?

The battery of a Mercedes-Benz is located under the cover panel in front of the windshield on the right side of the engine compartment. Simply open the hood to access the battery. Daily precautions to note: Avoid long-term outdoor parking: Avoid leaving the car parked in an open-air parking lot for extended periods. If long-term parking is necessary, remove the battery to prevent damage from freezing. Pay attention to starting time: Car engines are harder to start in winter. Each attempt to start the engine should not exceed 5 seconds, with intervals of at least 15 seconds between attempts. If the engine fails to start after multiple attempts, check other potential issues such as the electrical circuit, ignition coil, or fuel system. Avoid continuous, repeated starting attempts, as this can lead to battery damage due to excessive discharge.
The start-stop battery of the Mercedes-Benz GLE is typically located in the engine compartment, specifically in the right corner or near the air filter. Having worked on many of these vehicles, I find its position quite well-designed for easy daily inspection and replacement. To access it, first open the engine hood (bonnet), usually visible when lifting the front cover. Once open, look for a labeled black box marked with '12V' or similar identifiers. Its placement on the right side helps avoid interference with other engine components. This battery is crucial for the start-stop system; insufficient charge can affect the auto start-stop function. I recommend owners check the terminals for corrosion every six months, wiping them with a dry cloth to prevent poor contact. If you can't locate it, the owner's manual contains detailed diagrams—avoid forcing anything open to prevent damaging the wiring. Overall, its position is convenient and maintenance is straightforward.
