Mercedes-Benz S550 - New Battery Install

[@geldigitalmedia13]

2017 S550 4matic sedan....Just changed my battery with the exact oem aftermarket battery. Took 30 minutes!! Thank you so much for this, it was a piece of cake! Saved me $500. Memory saved and everything works perfect.🙂

[@TheBatteryShop]

This is great to hear! So glad our video helped you out

[@richerwiser2318]

Hey did you have to perform a reset afterwards at the dealership? I heard that may be something that has to be done afterwards so I figured I would ask. Thanks in advance

[@chrisUSA]

Thanks to your video. Yesterday, 10/13/2020, I changed both the main and auxiliary batteries in my 2015 Mercedes S550. It took about 40 minutes to change both. No problems! Easy. You get high marks from me on showing us how to do it. Also, I had watched another KZbin video on the best batteries to purchase (which I did and I used their recommendations) and saved an additional 15% buying them from Advance Auto Parts.

[@ryans-d7d]

Which battery did you use? Can you send me a link any chance?

[@chrisUSA]

@@ryans-d7d Yes, I keep records for all my vehicles. I purchased the Diehard H8AGM Platinum battery with a 3 year warranty and for the Auxiliary battery I selected the BCI Group Size 400. The batteries cost me $200 and $119.06, respectively,

[@ryans-d7d]

@@chrisUSA nice hell yea! Any issues installing them I have never done it Before but this video gave me some confidence. Also was your s550 a coupe or sedan version? as I plan on buying the same battery as you.

[@chrisUSA]

@@ryans-d7d No issues whatsoever. If you buy the batteries from Advance Auto Parts they will install them for FREE! I tipped the auto parts installer $20. Save yourself some money!

[@carycoller3140]

​@@chrisUSAHow did they keep the vehicle memory alive to avoid recoding the battery to the car?

Great Tutorial - saved me a ton of $$ doing it myself and putting the charger on to save the memory was a great step to know! Thanks!

What if the computer gets reset… how do I fix it

Thanks GOOD JOB!!!

[@JohnPinna-j9o]

What about the starter battery on the 2013 - 550 SL Behind the passenger seat. How to access it and does it require a trickled charge or charging the in the trunk battery suffice to charge both, during mints of non use.

[@johnnytopside3702]

I was quoted just under 900$ to replace the battery on my 2014 s550 is this a fair price? Seems like labor cost should be like 80$ tops after what I just watched.

[@TheBatteryShop]

Hi - Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion!

[@zzamja]

Very well explained video. My S-Class 2014 (W222) battery has been showing some signs of weakness and I was thinking of changing it myself but is it that simple as you have have explained. I am hesitant in case it may show fault codes or need resetting afterwards, any thoughts

[@zzamja]

For some reason, I couldn't access those additional videos. Can I use a spare small battery and connect it to the terminals under the hood while I replace the main battery in the boot, would that method work

[@thetxforensicrealtor]

Do you have to reset any codes to replace the battery?

[@ferrarif430lover]

Nicely done video but I think you need to discuss how to reset the ECUs if you don't have a way to maintain power in the system while changing the battery. Using a charger as you do, on a Ferrari of the same vintage, can destroy the ECUs (thousands of dollars). They provide a restart sequence once the new battery is in so the ECUs can relearn and not be damaged by possible current spikes.

How do we keep car’s memory alive and active while changing batteries so we don’t need to go to dealership after???? Ty

[@TheBatteryShop]

Thanks for watching. You can used a memory saver during the battery replacement process.

[@TJsChannel2016]

Can’t I leave it running to change the battery ? So I don’t lose memory ?

[@TheBatteryShop]

Thanks for watching. We recommend using a memory saver to save the presets in your vehicle.

[@justsomeone2324]

Great job

[@ericxie5908]

Hi there, is there any coding required after the battery installation?

[@TheBatteryShop]

Hello! We recommend checking with your owner's manual and/or dealership.

[@danvelgtr]

'' keeping the memory alive ' as you say with an additional 12V battery , how long does one have time wise to connect this battery after the main battery is disconnected ? tia.

[@TheBatteryShop]

Hi - Thanks for watching! None. The memory saving method must be connect first. Check out our video on memory saving. The link is in this video's description.

[@danvelgtr]

@@TheBatteryShop Thank you but when I click on the link it says its not available ?

[@richerwiser2318]

How exactly do you keep the memory alive?

[@TheBatteryShop]

Thanks for watching. We currently use and OBDII port style memory saver.

[@donaldwalton8255]

Where. Is the auxiliary battery located in a 2015 s550

[@TheBatteryShop]

Hi - Thanks for watching! We don't always have that information here in the studio, so we recommend that you check the vehicle owner's manual or a service/repair manual for the vehicle to be sure.

[@clabruno]

Can I use group 65 battery for front starter battery

[@TheBatteryShop]

Hi - Thanks for watching! According to the Battery Council International (BCI), the required Starting Motor Battery is a Group 102R. Auxiliary batteries are Group 54 or 69, depending on the year.

@@TheBatteryShop Thanks 👍

[@carlos439]

I replaced the battery on my 2011 and now I have a white “charge battery” message in the doc that I can’t get rid off, also the left side steering wheel buttons stopped working, it shows no codes when scanned with a snap on scanner :(

[@carlos439]

The Battery Shop hello, thanks for the reply, we have a snap on scanner but after reading all modules, it doesn’t find any battery related codes. We could not acces the power supply module with the scanner for some reason, but the car is working all good, the only thing I cannot get rid of the charge battery message because the left side steering wheel buttons stopped working as well

[@jamstagerable]

Carlos Rivera Sounds like your scanner doesn't have all the software functions. I had the exact same issue and just went to a local shop that had a top of the line scanner that was able to quickly reset the "charge battery" message which then the the steering wheel buttons then worked properly.

[@jonmonson3916]

Did you use the battery charger to save the memory as shown on the video? I want to change myself but not if it causes a bunch of problems.

[@carlos439]

@@jamstagerable i still have the same error in my dashboard 😂 took it to the dealer, they diagnosed the alternator, I replaced 2 alternators because the message wouldn’t go away, then I took the car to another shop, they tried to diagnose the issue, but couldn’t, they ordered a new ECM and programmed it to the car and it wouldn’t go away. The mechanic told me the only thing their scanner picked up was some signal wire that goes from the alternator to the ECM that read under/over some millisecond latency but he couldn’t figure it out 🤷🏻‍♂️ also, the message is red. If I disconnect the battery for a while, the message comes up white but changes to red after some time.

[@shaazy]

Do these need to be registered?

[@TheBatteryShop]

Hi- Thanks for watching! Some later model vehicles do need battery registration. We suggest that you check the vehicle owner’s manual for your vehicle to be sure.

[@paulbaker6233]

What kind of engineer would design a battery placement such as that? It's proof intelligence is measured on a circular scale without any stops.

[@h8GW]

Obviously it was designed for everyday weight distribution purposes, since a battery replacement is a relatively rare event -that is, if Mercedes had used a quality battery.-

[@rchot84]

I believe a new battery also has to be registered with a scan tool. Very expensive.

[@dwaynelinder8811]

how much does this battery have to do with the transmission?

[@dwaynelinder8811]

@@TheBatteryShop i have 07 s550 . the transmission wont go into drive or reverse. the car wont crank because the dash says that it is not in park or nuetral

[@fatih.sultan.mehmed.1453]

Hello guys. I have to go for holidays to Turkey. And I'd like to know is it possible to disconnect the battery? (Without danger or reinitializing process) or is it better to maintain the charge??? Thanks for your help

Hi - Thanks for watching! We think a battery maintainer might be the best option.
