Will There Be Any Impact If the Auxiliary Battery Failure in a Mercedes-Benz Is Not Replaced?

There is no impact if the auxiliary battery failure in a Mercedes-Benz is not replaced. The auxiliary battery is specifically responsible for the engine start-stop function and is unrelated to the main battery, so it will not affect normal driving. However, it may sometimes cause the dashboard to not display instrument status, and the auto start-stop function may become unusable. Below is some information about the auxiliary battery: 1. Introduction: The "auxiliary battery" is not actually a battery but rather a capacitor or a sensor. 2. Auxiliary Battery Failure: The repair depends on the meaning of the fault code. It could be due to low battery voltage, battery damage, or possibly a fault in the wiring or control circuit.

Last time I drove a Mercedes S-Class, I encountered an auxiliary battery warning. You really can't afford to delay replacing it. It's mainly responsible for powering the start-stop system and some electronic devices. The most obvious symptom when it fails is the automatic start-stop system not working. But the issue is that Mercedes' electrical systems are particularly sensitive. An auxiliary battery failure can cause the main battery to be repeatedly drained, and you might end up unable to even open the car door one day. Some models may also experience a blacked-out center console, erratic ambient lighting, or even heavier electric power steering. A mechanic once told me that delaying replacement could easily burn out the power management module, and the repair cost could buy ten new batteries. My advice is to address the dashboard warning immediately—don't lose big by skimping on small things.

Our fleet learned the hard way by not promptly replacing the auxiliary battery in a Mercedes-Benz V-Class van. This palm-sized battery may seem insignificant, but it actually maintains the vehicle's entire electrical balance. When it fails, the most troublesome issues arise in the electronic control system: windows roll up and down at inconsistent speeds, the AC suddenly switches to external circulation, and even the automatic headlights respond sluggishly. Once while transporting a client to the airport, the power sliding door got stuck halfway, creating an extremely awkward situation. What's more frustrating is that the main battery's depletion rate doubled – a battery that should last three years was dead within eight months. Now we've developed a habit: whenever the onboard computer displays 'Auxiliary Battery Malfunction,' we send the vehicle for repairs that same day.

What is the vehicle scrappage standard?

For domestic 5-seater cars and 7-seater SUVs, as well as non-commercial small and micro vehicles, there is no usage period limit. When the normal mileage reaches 600,000 kilometers, the state will guide the scrappage. In addition to the above vehicles, small and micro non-commercial passenger cars, large non-commercial cars, and wheeled special machinery vehicles also have no usage period limit. Commercial vehicles have scrappage periods, as follows: Small and micro taxi passenger vehicles have a scrappage period of 8 years, medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles have a scrappage period of 10 years, and large taxi passenger vehicles have a scrappage period of 12 years. Public transport passenger vehicles have a scrappage period of 13 years, other small and micro commercial passenger vehicles have a scrappage period of 10 years, and large and medium-sized commercial passenger vehicles have a scrappage period of 15 years. Micro commercial trucks have a scrappage period of 8 years, light and large commercial trucks have a scrappage period of 10 years. The vehicle scrappage process is as follows: The vehicle owner applying for scrappage renewal must fill out one copy of the "Motor Vehicle Change, Transfer, Modification, Suspension, Scrappage Approval Application Form" and affix the owner's seal. The registration office will accept the application and issue a "Vehicle Scrappage Notice" for vehicles that have reached the scrappage period. For vehicles that have not reached the scrappage period, after inspection by the motor vehicle inspection office and confirmation that they meet the scrappage standards, a "Vehicle Scrappage Notice" will be issued. The vehicle owner can choose a qualified recycling company to dismantle the vehicle with the "Notice". The recycling company will dismantle the vehicle and take photos after verifying the "Notice". The engine must be separated from the vehicle, the engine block must be broken, and the frame (chassis) must be cut. The vehicle owner must submit the "Change Form", "XX Province Vehicle Renewal Technical Inspection Form", "Scrapped Vehicle Recycling Certificate", and vehicle dismantling photos to the motor vehicle inspection office for verification and signature. The license plates will be reclaimed, and the scrappage registration will be processed after approval according to regulations. Special Notes: According to Article 30 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", if the vehicle is damaged and cannot be driven back to the registration location, the owner can sell the scrapped vehicle to a local motor vehicle recycling company. If a commercial vehicle is converted to a non-commercial vehicle, it must be scrapped according to the original commercial vehicle's scrappage period. According to Article 43 of the "Motor Vehicle Registration Regulations", after completing the transfer or cancellation of motor vehicle registration, the original owner can apply to the vehicle management office to use the original license plate number when registering a newly purchased vehicle. The application to use the original license plate number must meet the following conditions: (1) The application must be submitted within six months after the transfer or cancellation registration; (2) The owner must have owned the original vehicle for more than three years.
