- Hidden compartment for the battery on the SUV types of Mercedes. On this ML350 model, the battery location was right under the front passenger seat.
If you like to use some of the tools I use:

I have a 2008 ML 63 and the battery is dead. I was getting ready to take it to Mercedes and pay them $550 to replace the battery. This video helps me do it myself. Thanks, you saved me a lot of money.
when you are disconnecting the battery cables always disconnect the neg. one first then the Pos. When putting them back, do the Positive first than the neg. Other than that, great video.
Great video mate. Everything in this was spot on and made the battery replacement of my ML350 a simple task. The only thing I'd add to this is that you may find it difficult lifting the battery out - I used a long thick shaft screwdriver to give the battery a "ramp" to travel up as you pull it out on the angle.
That's a cool idea to keep in mind next time!
Helpful tip: make sure you raise the seat high up before disconnecting the battery. Or it , the battery , ain’t coming out.
👍 thanks !
Would it make it any easier to remove the entire seat?
Just what I needed! Thanks
Thank you for all the great tips! I'm going to try this
Thank you!
Very helpful dude thank you.
This video saved me $232.00 Because I installed bought the battery from Advance Auto Parts and installed the battery my self, instead of using the Mercedes dealer service!
Nice 👍 glad to hear this video helped out.
Well explained, Thank You
Thank you so much for this video!! I appreciate it. You saved me so much $
Oh you already found this video, lol 😅.
Great tutorial. A few notes to add.. you’ll need a 10 inch socket extension w swivel adapter on end. When putting bracket and bracket nuts back on use a magnet extension tool (about $6 at Lowes) to put bracket back over bolts and to start your nuts. I think he mentions this briefly but doesn’t go into detail. Pretty straight forward if you follow his steps here and have the right tools.
Please don’t upgrade upon me 😮😮😮
I’m gonna have i
Thank u sooooooo much.
I swear some car engineers must have been high designing some of these cars. Why for heavens sake put a battery in such a place. Thanks for the video helps alot
Lol, yeah, over engineering at its finest.
I own ML350 and E350, and my next car won't be German cars for sure.
@@Don-gl1cx lol 😂
@@Don-gl1cx Nowadays there better cars that offer more for your money than german cars. Infact most of them are not built in Germany. Like the ML is an Alabama car aka "alabama trash can"
believe it or not the Engine compartment get hot and will weaken the battery life. Putting it back in the back seat area is better for longer life. If you really want to have a challenge at a batter R&R try the Chrysler Seabring it is in the Right hang front wheel well. that that is crazy
Great job 👏 👍 👌 🙌 😀 .
Is the battery that you pulled out size H8? Did you replace it with the same H8 size battery? These days, some battery manufacturers are suggesting H6 AGM as a replacement even though it is lower in specs just because of ease of replacement (mechanically)
I'm not sure because I got it from NAPA, asked for the exact same replacement. But it's good to know for next time. Thank you!
Great video. Also...maybe change the aux battery at the same time.
Will do another video for that as well.
@@AlbanianFixI was just going to ask! ❤
Does it matter which terminal you disconnect first? I've seen other videos remove the negative term... first then reconnect the positive term... on the reinstall of the new battery.
Well, you're right, the veryyyyy correct way to do it is the NOPO-PINI way:
Negative out, Positive out
Positive in, Negative in
I get caught in the middle of it when trying to record, forgetting about it or just trying to do it fast and don't pay attention. BUT as long you disconnect the Positive first make sure it's completely protected and not let it touch any metal part of the car and you should be fine which ever way you decide to disconnect the battery leads.
If I'm just disconnecting the battery for long vacation (half a year or more) can I just disconnect the negative terminal? or do I still have to remove both negative and positive terminals?
It’s best to disconnect it completely and actually take it out the car and store inside especially if you live in a cold place.
Even better, use a reputable “automatic” trickle charger that has a BMS which charges and stops when it’s full and then charges it again when it goes below the level and so on…
Regular trickle chargers won’t do that as you have to manually remove it when battery is full or it might damage it.
If you’re going to get one, look for a trickle charger charger that supports the exact type of battery that you have since there are a lot of types of batteries out there. Or you can get a high-end battery maintainer that has functions for all types of batteries.
@@AlbanianFix Thank you! I live in SoCal and park the car inside my garage, so temperature isn't a big deal. I thought about the trickle charger, if I get one do I connect it to the front engine's positive and negative terminals or to the battery under the seat?
If the battery is dead, how do I move the seat forward?
With jumper cables from another car or use one of those portable jump starters
Is charging the battery possible from the ground and + from the front of the car with an standard battery charger for car batteries? Thanks!
Yes
Yup
@@AlbanianFix
Where from does the auxiliary battery get his power? From main battery or does the car load it seperatly? Thanks!
Will any charge devices work of computer
Not sure what you mean… 🤔
@@AlbanianFix to keep memory will any charger work

Hi. Which trickle charge are you using in this video?
I bought the cheapest one that Walmart had. As long as it’s a 12 volt trickler you’re fine.
Where can I find one ??
How much ??
What if I don’t have a trickly charger and I just change it out like that ???
So when can I find me a trickle charger ???
You could but you might lose your car's stored info. I highly recommend using a trickle charger, just in case.
Walmart has plenty of those and any car/auto store.
What info ???? I already install new battery every things working fine
Kosava Brother!
Yes, it’s Albania and Kosovo is our brother homeland.
Good car, but ridiculous place to put a battery my back went out doing this job
Lol, my back hurt for 4 days 😂
What dude mean the Battery had to be Vented Off on one side???
If a car has a battery installed inside the cabin and sometimes in the trunk even, the battery vent is a safety component that avoids pressure & gas build-up and allows air and gasses to pass through the vent tube and go outside so you don't breathe it into your lungs.
Was the car engine on
What you mean? While I was working on it?
No, it was off the entire time.
@@AlbanianFixlool tf kinda question 😅
po fol shqip se na mori malli shqip me degju hahaha. Rrespekte shqipe
Shqipe 😂😂😂 ma kan kërkuar shumë veta këtë gjë dhe do mundohem që të njëtat video ti fus nga dy herë. Një në anglisht një në shqip. Rrespekte!!
I hate Mercedes and this is one of the reasons why.
Lol
Bravo !
