Mercedes-Benz GLC : Battery (vehicle) / Replacing the 12 V battery
Observe the notes on the 12 V
battery.
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you have the
12 V battery replaced at a qualified specialist
workshop, e.g. at an authorized Mercedes-Benz
Center.
Observe the following notes if you want to
replace the battery yourself:
- Always replace a faulty battery with a battery
which meets the specific vehicle requirements.
The vehicle is equipped
with an AGM technology
battery (Absorbent Glass Mat) or a lithium-
ion battery. Full vehicle functionality is
only guaranteed with an AGM battery or lithium-
ion battery. For safety reasons,
Mercedes-Benz recommends that you only
use batteries which have been tested and
approved for your vehicle by Mercedes-Benz.
- Carry over detachable parts, such as vent
hoses, elbow fitting or terminal covers from
the battery being replaced.
- Make sure that the vent hose is always connected
to the original opening on the side of
the battery.
Install any existing or supplied cell caps.
Otherwise, gases or battery acid could
escape.
- Make sure that detachable parts are reconnected
in the same way.
Requirements:
The vehicle is secured with the electric parking
brake.
Vehicles with automatic transmission:
The transmission is in position .
The ignition and all electrical consumers are
switched off...
