Where are Mercedes batteries in the car?

Mercedes-Benz cars use a variety of battery types, so the location depends on the specific model and its battery system. Here's a breakdown:

Traditional 12V Battery (for starting and basic functions):

* Most common location: Under the hood, on the passenger side (often in a dedicated compartment).

Hybrid and Electric Vehicles (HEV and EV):

* High-voltage battery pack: These are typically located in the underbody of the car, either under the floorboards or in a specifically designed space in the chassis. The exact location varies by model.

* 12V auxiliary battery: This is often found in the same location as the traditional 12V battery in gasoline-powered cars, under the hood.

How to find the location:

* Check your car's owner's manual: This should clearly state the battery location for your specific model.

* Look for a sticker: Many vehicles have a sticker near the battery with information about it, including the location.

* Contact your local Mercedes-Benz dealer: They can help you locate the batteries in your car.

Important Note: Working with high-voltage batteries in hybrid and electric vehicles requires specialized knowledge and equipment. Always consult a trained mechanic for any repairs or maintenance related to these batteries.
