-This video provides battery replacement guidance for a battery for the Mercedes-Benz GLE350 which is underneath the drivers seat. Tilt the drivers seat forward and tilt chair towards steering wheel to allow for more room when removing the battery.
- Battery AGM88 (most common, and pictured in the video)

- The use of a memory saving procedure will keep the memory alive on the vehicle's computer during the battery replacement procedure. In this video we put a backup battery connected to the jumper points as this acts as a memory saving procedure.

- Late model vehicles may need to have the 12-volt battery registered with the vehicle's Battery Control Module or Computer after replacement. Check the owners manual as per vehicle manufacturing specifications.

The Video is very helpful. One tip, it would be easier to disconnect the positive terminal from the front of the passenger seat. This would require connecting to a backup battery (or use the new battery) and move the power seat backwards. After disconnecting the positive terminal, then move the seat forwards and take the battery out. After put the new battery in, move the power seat back and forth again.

Always disconnect the negative first, and remember that car is still live with 12v power from the aux battery so be aware of that positive terminal so you dont short the system

So you've replaced the Mercedes original AGM battery for the cheaper EFB type start/stop battery ? So you now sit on a box of sulphuric acid ?

How do take out that battery physically? If im having trouble should I disassemble the front seat? I cut the rug but it just too difficult to lift battery out of there.

Thanks for the video.
For me, I'm replacing the dead one with the new one. You're saying we'd need a 3rd battery connected to the + and - in the engine bay, sitting on the floor and then un-connect that AFTER putting the new one in under the seat? I'm not a mechanic. Is it ok to not use a third one like you show that's on the floor?

Hello Sir, I have a question about the GLE battery. I am going away for half a year and the last time (7 month ago) I did that the battery completely died so I had to get it replaced. I will be leaving for another 6 month to a year soon, and wonder if the new battery will be okay ( I can jump start it if needed but can't replace a totally dead battery by myself) or should I disconnect it? and if I disconnect it, will it be okay to just disconnect the negative terminal or should I disconnect everything? thank you!

So after the battery replacement, there is no other systems or parts to reset?

If you cut the carpet in my car like that we're gonna unprofessional to do that on a customer's car. Don't forget that you should be replacing it ONLY with a like AGM battery and then the BMS needs to be programmed with the date code from the new battery.

Don't cut the carpet, no need 🤦🏻‍♂️
