URGENT HELP NEEDED - STOP VEHICLE LEAVE ENGINE RUNNING

[harisraja26101956]

You have posted a picture of your fault codes. Starter battery resistance is too high, current and stored. That’s not your auxiliary battery

Also are you based in the UK? Do you fix batteries and deal with this stuff much ?

Check the terminals first. Might be something easy

Mhmm yeah I guess I’ll check that and if that’s not the case then getting a genuine Merc battery is the way forward ?

Did you fit the replacement battery yourself? Do check the tightness of the terminals, and also the 13mm nuts on the side of the positive terminal. Some people loosen these to give more room to lift the battery out. If the nuts aren’t tight the resistance will measure as too high

Hey man I forgot to mention this, when I charged my battery. The stop start feature started working for like 5-10 minutes it never did that prior to charging. This then went away after 5-10 minutes

Yep, I’m going to pick up a varta battery today and going to get it replaced to see if there’s any change?

Yes, and Mercedes charge a crazy price for the same battery. Varta AGM 096 from Mercedes £324.40. Same battery from Tayna £152.06 delivered. That really is taking the P***

Legend. The 13mm nut was loose, it got tightened. Now it’s working magic
