Removed battery to recharge. Got error message.

[maxima]

I have W211 for quite a few years. I had extended warranty before so I didnt care about little stuff like batteries

Now I had my battery died so I decided to recharge it while I am looking for decently priced new one. So I disconnected it, recharged and put it back.

I believe I did everything as the manual says.

However after the operation I got error message saying that I missed some service by 2500 days or so...

I understand that some kind of memory chip keeps the information on services to prevent fraud with the service history.. The everything else seems to be working fine..

Should I worry?

odd one this, that means it 'thinks' it has never had a service, not heard of this happening before.

I had this on a 210 recently. It re-set the service indicator when the battery was disconnected. Strange too AP.

Hope thats the only problem... I read something about an expensive electronic unit can be blown if you disconnect/reconnect battery badly...

Similar thing happened to me with my dead battery the other day - I lost 10k off the odometer! Now some people would kill to do that but it's just had it's MOT so of course the mileage is well off now!!
