Maintenance and care
General notes
In this section you will find notes and informa-
tion about the batteries. This means you can
ensure that the batteries are charged and ready
for use.
Battery capacity and power
R
Battery capacity is limited and operating time
depends on the number of electrical consum-
ers that are switched on and the duration
used.
R
The given nominal capacity of the battery may
be higher than the actual battery capacity.
Battery capacity depends on:
-
the age of the battery
-
the outside temperature
-
the engine speed
R
Regardless of the power of the alternator, the
battery can only be charged a certain amount
per hour. The rate of charge is significantly
reduced by low outside temperatures. As a
result, the battery may take much longer to
charge in winter.
R
Please note that the alternator cannot fully
charge the batteries.
R
If the battery is used intensively when the
vehicle is stationary, e.g. remaining in the
vehicle overnight, recharging the battery may
be required after several days.
Example:
If the coolbox consumes approximately 1 A in
one hour and remains switched on over a
weekend, this results in an overall consump-
tion of approximately 60 Ah.
R
To ensure the ability to start the vehicle,
observe the notes and instructions in the fol-
lowing event windows:
-
Consumer shutoff active
-
Battery charge level low
-
Battery charge level too low Start
engine
Parking up the vehicle for an extended
time period and storage
! Disconnect the negative terminal of the bat-
tery when the vehicle is to be idle for longer
than 1 week. This prevents the battery from
being discharged or damaged.
! For idle times of longer than 1 month,
remove the battery and store it in a dry place
at temperatures between 0 † and 30 †.
Maintain a constant battery voltage of 12.6 V.
If the battery voltage falls below 12.1 V, the
battery is damaged and must be replaced.
Charge the battery when the no-load voltage is
under 12.6 V. This ensures that the vehicle can
always be started.
If you park up your vehicle for longer than
3 weeks, observe the notes on parking up your
vehicle (
Y
page 368).
When storing the battery, comply with all safety
regulations, such as operating instructions, reg-
ulations concerning hazardous materials, envi-
ronmental protection measures, work safety
and accident prevention regulations.
Replacing the battery and operating life
! Do not connect any electrical consumers
directly to the battery terminals. This leads to
uncontrolled discharge of the battery and
erroneous sensing of charge requirements by
the battery sensor. Current drain in one bat-
tery results in damage being caused to both
batteries.
Avoid the battery becoming fully discharged.
This can significantly reduce the operating life of
the battery.
Long battery service life can be achieved by
keeping the batteries adequately charged.
Mercedes-Benz recommends the following
when replacing the batteries:
R
always replace both batteries
R
use the same type of battery
