Thank you for making this tutorial: it is very clear and informative!!

[@bigedge8771]

A couple things missed here...one, remove the bracket after taking screw out. Will make placing battery into place easier and correctly. Two, remove the plastic shield from the terminal side of the battery....it has clips, and will make your life much easier when removing and installing new battery. Especially if the battery weighs nearly 50 pounds....finally, after dropping new battery into place, Then, attach bracket, Then, attach shield, Then, snake plus terminal wire inside of shield, and reconnect battery terminals. After all is connected, the check engine light may come on, but in many cases, after around 5 start ups and driving around, should go away while computer relearns a few things....I have had the annoying privilege of swapping out my Benz battery many times....

Could you also make a video? :D

[@matthewbrown797]

yeah! Please make a video

[@marinfilipovic1010]

@@matthewbrown797 thank you sir very much

[@AG-pe3wb]

thank you very much for the good demonstration

[@dimmacommunication]

Could I use a battery charger on the right side ? The part where you attached the Voltmeter.

[@jamesbarratt593]

INCORRECT PROCEDURE - Why because when changing the battery you must reset the BMS in the computer system

[@raybokor2]

thank you i didnt know how to take the cover off

[@greatsky8226]

Very useful!

[@steflam4222]

salut un grand merci pour ta vidéo :) j'aurais une question s'il te plait,mon fils a laisser le plafonnier allumer et a décharger la batterie,le lendemain elle etais a plat,j'ai démarré avec des pinces,elle a fonctionné 2 jours puis repanne elle ne démarré plus,cette fois j'ai démarré avec une batterie provisoire juste déconnectant les bornes et elle a redémarré puis j'ai remis la batterie d'origine afin quelle se charge avec le moteur,pour le moment je suis en phase de test afin de voir si elle va redémarré,je la laisse démarrer une demi heure et je fait la testé,si elle tombe en panne dans quelques jours tu pense que c'est la batterie ou l'alternateur ? un grand merci de ton aide

Autool BT-460, you use it ,can it make for Power the battery ? Normally, i will use another battery to jumping cable for standby battery when i want to replace a new battery.

[@Ciapakin]

Why did you connect to the battery terminals and not the emergency terminals to keep the control unit powered?

[@sanjeebsinkhada]

Thanks for the video, I’m trying to replace my car battery, can I use a jumpstart battery as a external battery ? Also do we need to initialise the system to match the new battery?

[@paulhunt1079]

NEVER work on the 12v terminal until the earth terminal has been disconnected, and always reconnect the earth terminal last. If your socket, spanner or whatever on the 12v terminal should happen to touch any other metalwork with the earth still connected then you will get a massive arc and possibly a battery explosion if there are any battery gases in the vicinity.

[@doit_vehicles]

For some people being careful is enough

Very good video

[@williamangus9739]

Spot on thank you

[@eyeballspopping]

Good video, thank you. You advise that power should be maintained to the car while removing the battery to avoid losing power to the car's computer, otherwise it would need to be reset. Elsewhere I saw mention of this car having an auxiliary battery in front ot passenger seat. Is this so (if yes, I guess the computer would continue to receive standby power)? If a second battery needs to be connected, would it be easier to connect it where you connected your voltmeter at the start of the video, rather than directly on the terminals (seems to be the same circuit, less risk of accidential short). About to change my battery today, so a few questions in mind. Thank you again.

[@eyeballspopping]

Okay, new battery installed without issues. A few learnings: 1. I connected a spare battery to the 'jump start' terminals (to right of battery) to maintain power to computer. 2. I disconnected the battery terminals from the old battery (did not loosen other nuts, to keep jump start terminals in the circuit). 3. Once the new battery was in place, I lifted the plastic surround at the back left joint, and it easily lifted, allowing easy insertion of the battery holding clamp. It was then easy to position and screw the holding clamp back in place. Car started without issues, computer working, no reset needed.

My battery VW ( AGM 680 A EN) is down to 32% SOH and 390 A EN and still works perfectly including the start stop works ok.I don’t think you needed to change so soon, that’s just normal wear and tear at 590 A

[@doit_vehicles]

You might live in a warm climate ? If it gets to minus 10 or more it will be felt

[@ArchyBaldo]

Today i replaced the battery without any issue. Did not connect any external power supply. The only thing it forgot was the time and date.

[@The_Voice_of_Reason_is_here]

What if I don't connect a second battery while removing dead battery? It's just gonna reset clock right?

[@adem4996]

I heard you can connect external battery positive to red positive side and external battery negative to ground hook on the car. Will it work? I assume it can be also made by another car's battery (car should be working) any ideas?

[@ttarmo]

Yes you can connect the external power supply (other battery or charger) in the jump start connections. I connected charger to mine and no fault codes or anything after that. Much easier than trying to get them to hold on leads while putting new battery. For you this information is probably irrelevant but hopefully helps someone else.

[@adem4996]

@@ttarmo Thnx. I changed my battery at shop. They just wanted me to start the engine. after that, while engine was working they just did the replacement. no problem. maybe useful for somone else

[@dannycain1991]

Hi do you know how to change and find cam shaft sensor on w176 a180d thanks

[@albwerms]

MB aftermarket services recomments reseting the battery load performances in the software of the car. It can only be done in MB official shop. Is that really needed?

[@rewt2008]

No thats not needed - only for cars after 2015

[@Antonis_Skondras]

Hi Battery Bosch S5A11 AGM 80AH 800A is good for my W176 A180 ?

[@edogblaze7219]

Just waiting for my bosh to arrive .My A180 hasn't moved for three months .Hope it sorts out the ignition and handbrake 😅

[@niallol1942]

Using A Class to jump start another car. Is it one on left or right battery from this video I use?

[@doit_vehicles]

the main one

[@mahmoudmansour212]

What is the original battery model for this car?

[@andersg9813]

Dude why u dont show how you get that negative pole off? You just skip that part I cant get it off 😂

[@godofecom]

Seriously nobody answers this in any video

[@cipri198zero]

I have A180 W179,my battery is inside the car,can I use another car battery to make the swap? I have 3 car batteries,is it any danger due to the voltage and amps?

[@doit_vehicles]

Hi ! Sorry I did not understand what do you wanna do , what's the question

[@cipri198zero]

doit_vehicles hi, I meant if I connect 2 batteries in the same time in order to mount the new one ( the 3rd battery ) isn’t that bad for the car electrics? I don’t have a 9V battery to do the swap but I do have an old battery,can I use it to help make the swap?

[@doit_vehicles]

@@cipri198zero yes it will not damage the car , the total Ah will not be used by the car so it won't matter if it's higher

[@cipri198zero]

doit_vehicles ok,thank you,just wanted to be more sure,anyway I know I need to do it carefully.

I have an A220d and it’s way more difficult

[@FactsMattersUSA]

That IS NOT the battery. That's just where you jump start it, the actual battery is located on the left side of the post beneath the cover

nice video
