Hi, my rear battery on my R230 SL is not holding any charge and needs replacing. The Stop/Start function on my car does not work therefore could i get a replacement battery which doesnt have this element ? Many Thanks

They battery is not responsible for controlling Stop /Start. That is primarily a software function.

If Stop /Start has not been working previously it may well be because your battery was starting to fail before before finally giving up.
 
I must confess that I heartily dislike Stop/Start !

I didn't even know that my R230 had it !
 
I don't think any R230 had stop/start, thought it only came in with the R231 model?
 
On reflection I wonder whether the OP is referring to the Keyless(Start/Locking) function, rather than Stop/Start ?
 
Robbie - looking forward to your next post.

In the interim if your battery needs replacing do go for OEM specification - AGM.

I bought mine from my local excellent "Indy", but they are available at a good price from MB Grangemouth.

My R230 SL500 does not have Stop / Start ( Thank fully ) ....

Richard Hollins is someone i would recommend if you are in York - He had 5 SL's in for various tasks, 6 including mine as my alternator packed in on the way up to York last year!

 
My SL500 R230 also doesn't have stop/start
