A+ video. Just when I was prepared to give up on all the TH-cam you-fix-it video crap I stumbled upon this crisply professional short and fully informative vid. Thank you sincerely. Impressive.
Usefull video, as always from you 👍🏻 This is, ofcourse, right way to do replace, my little tip- if you do replacement on w212 models without auxiliary battery- some data on instrument cluster will be erased(average consumption, daily km...). *there is way to prevent this- keep engine running while doing replacement. ;)
Yuasa batteries are really good, they are original parts for a lot of motorbike manufacturers... I have a Yuasa put in place of the auxiliary battery on my C180 and it works great for the start-stop function!
Thank you for this video! This was very helpful. Note, on some w212 models (mine is 2013 550) they do not have a “service position” latch, but do allow you to just push the hood all the way to 90 degrees
Hi MB212, my S212 Hybrid have the original battery Varta A 005 541 10 01 - 12V 95Ah CCA 850 A. Todays and after 7 winters and 120k she gived me warning for change. I've checked the voltage and both batteries are OK. The only thing I can say about the warnings it's bcz I've not driving the car much they need to be charged. Since then and when the cockpit gives the alert I make 20-30km and charge for next morning.
Just switched a new battery to my old and faithful 2009 W212 and did it like on this video. Very simple. I think the old battery was traditional lead battery and the new one with EFB tech.
Very nice video. Nice clear and well lit shots. Great comments on the screen. I replaced both batteries in my 2011 E350 today, and this video really helped with the big one under the hood. The little battery under the dash was much harder to replace! (and the video I found on that replacement wasn't as good as this video on the big battery).
MB cars with the ECO function (stop and start) has a tendency to kill the battery. The ECO function is not getting turned on when the battery is to week. When I look on the service history on my E350 -16 the battery is changed 4 times up to 70000km. Was this the case for you this time?
That’s a lot of changes. On my old with ECO I never changed the main battery and had that car for around 3 years. Not sure when this battery was changed. ECO function still worked before change but the diesel heater did not work good.
Hi guy's, my s212 hybrid have the same batteries and now with 120k they've given some warnings. I've check the voltage and it's OK. Both batteries measured around 14 V with the alternator running. So my experience says, the short trip's aren't good for batteries. Since then I made some 20-30 kms trip's and the batteries answering well. The winter in Portugal isn't like Sweden but by morning here we fill also negative temperatures. I hope this information will helps.
Changed the battery because the old was bad, could not use my diesel heater because of that. Not sure but I probably would had bought a mb battery if I had any dealer here in town, was to expensive to order it online. But YUASA is a quality also so is going to work good.
@@MB212 I am not sure that if you have a problem with your diesel heater it will be fine by replacing the battery. The heater ads load on the battery and the capacity needs to be increased. So as long you don't add capacity you might end up replacing the battery every second year or so.
Got you, but this battery was not 100% healthy and the previous owner had bought the 92Ah battery. This model with diesel heater should have 95Ah as the new battery. That’s mainly a problem when using the heater often, and not driving long enough to recharge the battery. But I going to install a special maintenance battery charger so is not going to be any problem.
I could not locate any other then this YUASA in the local stores, and I did not want to order because of the shipping cost and time waiting for it. Don’t bother me to much using other brand to be honest on parts like this.
have a problem with my car Mercedes w220(2000model s320) I check with Mecanic still they can’t find. Only this happens morning start when we press unlock key all indicator will blink except the right side indicator inside the headlight.after I start the real problm start Right side head light will not work and it flickers and signal light inside the right side head lamp allso will not work,horn will not work, rear seat down side cabin light , front seat down side cabin light allso will blink same time when the head light blinks When I start to Drving that time I will get warning Display defective , battery low,after 30 minutes of Drving I need to stop my car and want to start it again, then everyting will work normal Really what is the problm?
Not connected it because I did not have any vent pipe, last owner seems to have lost it somehow. Going to order it and connected it later on! Yess is on the same side as the original.
@@fuffoon Some say that the car adjusts the current/voltage for the battery depending on how old the battery is. If you put in a new battery and not tell that to the car, you shorten the life on the new battery. Not correct? A workshop specialist on mercedes told me that about my 2014 E-class OM651
You need lots of other things as the extra battery and all cables and not even sure if is possible to retrofit it for older models. But I would happily not have this function is only costly and worn things on the car.
Not the correct way at all. Need to use memory saver/donor battery/12v power supply to retain systems/settings etc. Can be done without but that’s not the correct/intended way by the manufacturer.
Lots of drama comments. Its as easy as changing the batteries in a TV remote control. No 15k dollar computer needed. Remove the old and put in the new. No need to hold power or other sorcery.
You’ll definitely fail if you had to be a mechanic and had to follow manufacturer guidelines. The drama comments are yours. Why you so salty in the first place of people posting the actual correct way in contrast to the video? You a right real 🤡 aren’t you.

They are decent along with Varta who are also serving MBZ actual batteries in their cars. In my case a W212 EClass

Thanks that’s interesting info, I was sure all had the service latch but it may depend on the pedestrian protection thing.

Excellent video, all the information the viewer needs to know. Thanks.
Thanks, great video saved me a lot of hassle
I love your work its so organized congrats 👍🏻
Do you need to reset the new battery with star diagnostic, thanks!
Not to my knowledge. Could not find any information that’s include reset.
Has done this many times this way and always working good.
Using a memory saver before disconnecting old battery would be better
Not at all necessary. Nothing is lost.
Thanks changed on my 2014 e class.🎉

My March 13. E200CDI with 144k has original Varta battery
Think diesel heater is the main battery killer 😅
I have start stopp but never using it so no problem!
Cab’t fit my airduct housing over my new battery, got any tips for some type of substitute?
The previous owner has put a 70ah Varta agm battery in my w212. Let's see if it starts next winter here in Finland. I don't have fuel preheater.
Probably work but not optimal ☺️
Thanks again Sir
Great Job
Why you changed the battery? I mean the original one from Mercedes is better right?
Changed the battery because the old was bad, could not use my diesel heater because of that. Not sure but I probably would had bought a mb battery if I had any dealer here in town, was to expensive to order it online. But YUASA is a quality also so is going to work good.

how to put the start-stop button on my 2015 Mercedes E-212 ?
hi AGM battery can be top up the liquid and restored...is it true?.
Why do you remove the key button first?
Is stated in the mb document for this procedure. Don’t really know why is needed.
@@MB212
thank you. 👍🏻
Are you going to connect the vent pipe or just leave it?
For now I leave it, but I order the vent pipe next time doing order for spare parts. Is to expensive to only buy this plastic pice for shipping ☺️

My battery just died and I bought a new one 12V 95Ah plus-stop from a shop called Biltema. Do you think this battery will do good ?
Working perfect 👍
@@MB212 Thank you so much !
Hur gick det med Biltemas batteriet?
Jag fundera oxå att köpa en sån vanlig 95ah
@@DD7000Bitola Hej.
Det fungerar faktiskt jätte bra, har absolut inget att klaga på.
Är det AGM eller vanlig?
