battery

My CLK is showing signs of battery failure, stone flat after 5 days parked up. It is the original one, so it has done well. Question is do I go for a premium £100.00 job or a cheapo ? Common sense says £100.00 job but the cheapo's seem to carry the same warranty as the more expensive stuff :dk:

Hi, went to fit a leisure battery to our 2012 vito dualiner and then found it already has an auxiliary 2nd battery under the drivers seat, plus a split charge relay thing that joins that batt to the alternator once engine is running. Yay. Now, I want to figure out how to do the wiring... I...

OK - I've pulled the drivers seat out of my W211 to replace the cover. Turns out a bit more work is needed as the foam pad needs a bit of sorting. Currently the base is over at the car trim workshop - won't get it back till Friday. Question - I disconnected the battery before I pulled the...

Hello all, Having got myself a red battery fault with 'Visit Workshop', I had the car in my workshop overnight and the smell of burnt Bakelite greeted me next morning, this gave me a clue to the fault so I went digging and found the fault. I’m pleased this unit is in a metal enclosure as I...

Rather embarrassingly I flattened the battery on the E500. I was working on the car (see here drainage channels) and while doing so I raised and lowered the roof a few times to get at the areas under the hood cover. I also had the CD installing for the digital user manual which took...

Hi. I've got MB Vito W639 53reg. I own this one for over 7 years. Since last 6 months im struggling with battery drain. Its showing 7amp drain. Long story short- after heavy rain water in pollen filter. Fluded vents. Water dripping inside. Ive spoken to some specialist and still no...

Sorry to say my first post is for help but I am hoping that someone on here might have the answer i am looking for. I own a 2004 E320 saloon and it has developed an electrical fault with the battery continually discharging. I have removed all fuses in engine bay,drivers cockpit and boot and...

Hi there, I have a 2004 E220 CDI (W211). Yesterday, I depressurized the SBC braking system by disconnecting the battery (located in the boot/trunk of the car) in order to do some maintenance on the front disc brakes. I closed the boot when it started to rain. Now I am unable to open the boot...

Stop start hasn't worked on my w204 september 2016 C250d for the last few weeks. On Sat Mercedes Me emailed me to say the battery needed charging or a 60 min drive which I did. Yesterday and today it barely turned over when starting. The car is used every day. Are there battery/charging...

Come back to it twice and won't start, needs new battery, any recommendations on replacement brands or part numbers will be great

Non Merc - But the same principal. Folks. I just want to check my sanity - methodology and sanity please. Just bought the wife a BMW X5 4.8is from a dealer (Yes I know I can take it back) After the car had stood at our place for a few days. The battery was flat enough not, to want to start...

I am in big trouble and need my car fixed tomorrow ( Friday) I suspect the voltage regulator has gone, as both battery's were changed around 1.5 years ago and the voltage is just 11.7v with the engine running. Terry is busy for quite a well. I am located in Bracknell and will try Star...

Hi, Does anyone own one of these popular battery chargers (CTEK MXS 5.0)? I recently purchased one and used it today, but after about 3 hours of having it on charge I went to check it and when I touched the unit it was VERY hot. It was soo hot that I decided to switch it off rather than run it...

Just a quickie. I`ve attached my trickle charger lead today and had to remove an odd "box" which sits on top of the battery. What is this for? Thanks.

Well my W221 S320 is I believe at the point of needing a new starter battery,when I start the vehicle the dash lights go out for a few seconds and then the car starts,had a look and it is a Varta,60ah 680 Aen nothing special about it except the price from the local Mercedes dealership quoting...

My battery is flat on my 320clk cab. I do not have the 3 prongs under the cap in the front just an earth. I have drilled my boot lid until it looks like a Swiss cheese there is no rod in the back to pull up! It is a UK model 2002 any ideas. My latest it to scrap it as I am now very frustrated:

Hi I tried updating my satnav software today and I connected a charger (my dad's which was probably not working right) and my battery went partially flat. I could not start the car or even jump it off. On attempting turn over recent clock tried to reset itself and the seat belt presenters stuck...

Hi Guys, Do any of you know the location of the Auxiliary Battery on a S212 Facelift E350 2013? And whether the Battery is a N 000 000 004 039 or a A 211 541 00 01? Photos or Documentation would be very helpful. Thanks in advance. Chris.
