- How to remove and install battery in 10 minutes. Important information to know before you remove your battery. This its same procedure as most workshops use. Mercedes-Benz W212 E-Class sedan and estate 2009 - 2016. But procedure its same on most Benz models and other cars. Change and replace car battery for A-Class B-Class E-Class Class and more cars.
Thank you for the tutorial you created ! From beginning to end 30 minutes battery replaced and not once did I use profanity and thanks for being humble and not talking for ever and playing head banging music not needed
That bonnet extension is a hidden gem . Not many people know about it . Thanks for showing us. I am hoping to hold the charge and keep continuous supply by plugging in my battery pack jump starter to avoid any resets hope that works and saves me a lot of problems later. I am about to but a replacement battery from Mercedes for C300 . Price quoted $240 for the battery. They wanted $490 with fitting so I’m glad I saw your video it will hopefully save me money even though I’m terrified to do it myself .
Thanks for video. Please note that before disconnecting the cables from the old battery terminals, it would be better to connect another 12V fully charged battery using the special connectors provided for. The red (+) connector is located right in front of the battery place, and is protected by a sliding red cover above it. For the (-) connection you can use the bronze connector located nearby, or any other part of the engine or chassis. Doing so, all settings and adjustments (time, date, exterior lighting, automatic mirrors foldind, etc.) will remain steadily unchanged. When finished with new battery installation, those extra connections may be carefully taken away.
@@rob-fb5xs Yes my friend, you are absolutely right! There is a great possibility for the positive terminal to touch the body of the car during the removal of the old battery. One safe solution is to isolate the terminal by wrapping it with a thick paper or plastic cover. Thank you for your observation.
Niko, this car does have already an auxiliary (second) battery connected to the system. Therefore there‘s no need to connect another battery while replacing the main battery. And yes, very important to isolate (wraping it up) the positive terminal when you disconnect it!
Dear Juan Ramon, not all the w204 models. For example, my C180 Blue Efficiency has only one battery.
@@rooker56 But this is a W212!
And many other models do have 2 batteries... my X218 also does...
OMG! Thanks SO MUCH! I've been trying to find a video on how to extend the bonnet on my mercedes and you just showed me! Fantastic.🇬🇧👍
🤙🤙🤙
This is a great tutorial, one of the best I’ve seen online
Thank you my friend for spending the time and effort to showing us step by step it's really helpful cos soon I needs to replace mine 👍
Thanks for this, i was struggling as didn't see the rail nut and didn't realise the bonnet can open up more!
Glad it worked out for you 💪
You maybe will never believe me!
I have a c220 cdi 2008 since 8 years and today I have exactly 447 000 km. The battery is original.
That’s a really long time and with the driving distance also. Usually they last around 5 years for me!
@@MB212 You can don't believe me but I swear it' true. Absolutely incredible!
2013 c300 original battery here!
2010 A207 CDI E350 Cabriolet, 97k miles, original battery just packed up.
Hey!! Love the video!!
What year and model is this Mercedes?
I have a 2015 S 65 AMG and I need to change the battery out asap
Great video. I would have dropped the screw 3 or 4 times and spent 20 minutes on locking in the bracket.
I watched the video and still dropped the screw 4 or 5 times. I was confused as to why he put the black metal brace on before putting the battery in but then I kept watching and noticed he actually put the black metal brace on after he puts the battery in
Am very happy to see how I can replace the battery thanks very much
Can you tell me if Mercedes (A207) E350 CDI Cabriolet 2010 (231BHP) will need the electrics reset after replacing the battery? Also how long should I let the vehicle sit before replacing the battery? As I understand that after removing the key most of the systems are still live and pulling power.
Hi, i want to ask you about the battery drain hose. Do you have to make a hole in the battery or ? I ask because i have the same battery but the hole where you attache the tube is plugged, i don't understand how it will drain if necessary.
Thanks
Hi there. Does a replacement AGM battery need coding to the car. I have a 2015 w212 E220 and need to replace my origional battery. My Icarsoft cr max scan tool doest have mercedes as a manufacturer in the list for battery registration. Thanks
I replaced the main battery on my W212 (it only has one) using the same technique has shown on the upload, and no additional work was needed ie electric window one touch learn or radio presets reinstate. The upload shows the correct procedure for carrying out this maintenance task.
Battery Fett or Vaseline on the Battery terminals?
For many years I have only used Varta Batteries, there are many good dealers where you can get good discounts, in Germany anyway, great Channel BTW!
What battery brand do you prefer?
Nice removal and installation 👍😀 . Thank you 🙏.
Thank you very much :-) i have a question, can i use 95A amper agm batery ?
Great information, helped me out today 👍
Thanks for helping a guy out! 👍
Does power need to be kept on all the time? Will the car's computer losing any memory if power is completely off?
How do I know when my battery needs replacing? This "blue efficiency" rubbish never really charges it fully, I get a constant roundabout 12,5 V while ignition is on but motor not running. When running I have 14,5 V roundabout from the alternator.
Do you jump start this battery or the one in the back?
Wow...thank you so much. You are a good teacher.
Glad to hear 🙌
Che bei video fate.chiacchere zero.fatti tanti. Complimenti
I saw that you are using Bosch 80ah battery. Is that reccomended battery as I thought that 95ah 850A is recommended. And what's the purpose of AUX battery?
Is depend on what options you got, this car was kinda basic and only had the 80ah. Aux battery maintains some important systems don’t know exactly, but things as ECO start/stop
@@MB212 Thanks!
Thank you
The new battery needs coding?
Thanks for the video!
Thank you so much for uploading
Om man har köpt ett helt nytt batteri är det bara att stoppa i det i bilen då eller måste man ladda det först?
Ladda helst före har det stått länge i butik kan det vara dålig sås!
what is the exact battery specification for w212 e220 cdi blue efficiency
I have a C300. The battery holder bolt fell off the bottom when removing. I can't get it back on. The battery was also an inch less length. Auto parts store said no problem it should work. It fires up, but now NO RADIO.
Does it need to be under charge while changing battery to avoid any issue with the computer or audio ? I am based in Europe
No it’s cool to take it out without charging. For mine model no issues only clock setting. Could not find any document from mb that’s say it could harm the electrical system to take power out. But you should wait for all system to shout down properly before removing it.
I have same question,thx!
w204 c200 cgi bj2011 / batteriesensor brauch man nicht abklemmen / heute gemacht genau wie im Bordbuch beschrieben erst minus ab dann plus.ausbauen wieder einbauen. fertig. /..keine Einstellungen nötig gewesen danach . Uhr hat sich nach 10 min fahren selbst gestellt..
Hi team, I changed my battery and my radio set can no longer come up. Please and help on what to do?
thank for your video, can i install bosch s5 a13 95ah instead s5 a11 80?
Not sure you have to measure so is enough space for it.
whats the recommended battery amp for w204 ?? 70 or 100amps ??
any disadvantages if i use a lower amp other than the recommended?
90 or 92 amps.
My b180 is 2012 model. I'm going to change the battery now. Year2023. Very expensive batteries to replace .
thanks for help :)
Very good video
I don't see Bosch S5 A11 batteries in the states for sale.
Interesting it more for European market with Bosch I assume 🧐
Whats the best battery to get for 2014 CLS550?
interstate
Now l have one problem that is disturbing me the is one Mercedes Benz that the key is disturbing me the vehicle don't want to look with the key what is the problem because when you want to look is only the traficators that indicates on the board
Same procedure for a 2016 CLS550?
Pretty much I guess 👌
How do you unlock audio unit after replacing battery?
Not need to unlock starts as normal. Not sure but may be different settings where you live but Europe car no problem.
You can use the jumper cable connect the other terminals ! So you won’t lose anything !
Does replacing the battery reset both the analogue and command clocks?
Yess command clock it’s reseted. Not sure about analogue but it’s should keep running 🤔
My battery is located in the trunk. What kind of Mercedes CLS 550 is this???
This is a W212 which is an E Class. There is an auxiliary battery in the trunk, main one under the hood as you saw. Possibly a smaller 2nd aux battery behind the headlight switch inside the dash as in my E coupe as well, can't remember
I heard that power management unit needs to be reset via OBD after changing battery, is it true?
According to mb documents is not necessary!
there may be some truth to that... at least the engine ECM will have to relearn charging the new battery.
People keep telling me to take it to the dealer. Do they do anything different, do they do anything to the system, does the system need to be set?
Do it yourself, you will save $$$$
I was told warrantee would be canceled if I replace my battery with an aftermarket battery how true is this?
Can not give answer about that. But guess it’s pretty important to follow your dealers advice if you got warranty.
if your car is still under warranty and you need a battery... something else is wrong! My W212 battery charging software needed an update to stop acting flacky and commanding the alternator to drain my battery below 11.7V while driving.
Car has an hidden engineering menu that can display both Volts & Amps on dashboard while driving... that is how I found out what was killing my big AGM
Does the main battery need coding? My stop start is orange and brake hold is not working
yes
Is it ok to install other brand battery on Mercedes?
Absolutely no issue 👍
What is the small red cable on the left side of the battery that is unplugged and then pluggged into new batter. @2:52
He calls it a vent line
Hello Friends, need to replace car amp on an w221 2013, is it a must to disconnect the battery?Appreciate any advice! Thanks and regards.
Yess I would recommend you to disconnect the battery before you replace the car amp, if you have bad luck you could fry some electrical things.
Sir how would I know if I have auxiliary battery? Thanks
If you have ECO button then you also have some auxiliary battery.
Dankeschön
So you upload this video and a day later my battery dies 🤔🤔🤔
Hm that’s was bad 😬 Totally dead? But now you got some tips but assume you already know all of this how to change!
@@MB212 yeah totally dead, it's a 5 year old battery so I guess not driving it these days really killed it. I'll have to wait for the quarantine to end to get an OE battery, batteries sold locally barley last a year, but a great video you made 👍
I see over here it’s still like normal but a bit worse in capital! Hope it goes better soon! One year for a battery not sounds good better be OE then 👍
@@ZakiGarage battery are usually warranted over 48Mo.
BTW you should check what module is draining non-stop ( KeylessGo) and check the engine ECU control the alternator properly. On W212 ECM reads the battery sensor through a serial bus connected to the SAM... but this messaging gets disrupted when other CAN modules stall the Bus Gateway than inter connect with engine bus modules. Rogue software never updated is the cause... dealers don't like doing cheap work.
@@glasser2819 I just needed to replace the old battery, and for warranty we only get one year here if any warranty at all.
what were you doing on the battery
Had to use it briefly in another car and tough I could be a good video!
That is to tell system that battery is new.
Does anybody know what are all these cables attached to the positive pole of the battery?
Crypto Miners
You forgot center clamp
?
No Radio Code or so required?
No. This it the same way Mercedes recommended.
What about coding the new battery (duh) 🤷♂️
that question is not for his level experience.He doesn't know what we mean.
No coding needed. These steps are all according to the official Mercedes documents nothing to worry about.
I thought the battery was in the trunk
Auxiliary battery it’s in the trunk.
some cars main are in trunk or under passenger seats. They like to hide things 😃
Это не 211. У меня в 211 акамулятор в багажнике!
now you have to bring it to a garage and get the battery coded, another 50 quid, absolute money pits
MB and particularly this model don’t need battery coding so that’s good!
@@MB212 MB don't need battery coding? My W213 would disagree. In fact, both auxiliary and main batteries needed coding recently.
Could be the newer model have this coding thing but non of the W212 models.
Should never change a battery like this
Wrong wrong wrong. That is completly wrong way. Recording so many fault codes and loose memory car. WRONG!!!!!!!
I follow official manuals made by Mercedes-Benz specific for this model, so I guess is better to trust them.
EXIDE battery is really better..........
better than the Varta OEM?
How do you figure??
The worst cars to maintain 👎
Så det går få huven att öppna mer . skulle jag vetat för 2 veckor sedan när jag byta termostat 😅
My S550 has two batteries in the rear trunk , paid over $650 at the dealership for the MZ OEM batteries. European cars are junks !
You poor guy, why u bought an s550 then 😂 those cars aren't made for regular folks
