Mercedes Benz SUV GLE350d main battery replacement/battery change (Other model GLE/ML is similar)

The vehicle in this video is 2017 GLE 350d. I think probably a lot of GLE/ML is similar, as long as the battery location is the same.

Thank you. In my view, this is the best video on how to replace the main battery. One thing missing, though: the need to do new "battery registration" with an OBD2 device that includes that function (from what I've found, a function available in only the more expensive $125+ OBD2 devices, and even some of them such as the iCarsoft MB II don't have it). This tells the charging system how much juice the battery needs to charge properly (older batteries need more juice). I'd also really appreciate it if you'd post of video on the auxiliary battery replacement (it's apparently under the rear driver's side seat).

Thank you for sharing that I need to register the new battery. I will do the auxiliary battery when it is time to do it.

@@mkwan1 did you do the new battery registration and what OBD2 device you use? Thank you!

@@ibiius6042Hi, I googled one device and asked the seller to confirm it can reset the battery. When I received it, there are some issues and the seller requested the factory to provide a fix to enable the battery reset function. I tried to reset but I can’t tell if the reset is successfully or not. Then I ended up return and refund the device. I will see if this battery can last as long as the original one. If not, when I replace the battery second time, I will search a device again.😂

I really can't believe Mercedes would put this huge battery underneath the tight passenger side space. I guess with that huge vehicle they couldn't fund a easier spot for it. Like the rear side of the trunk.

Have you done the replacement aux battery on the GLE? Auxiliary malfunction?

I need to do a replacement on a 2017 GLS550 Im assuming mine will be the same process>? Do we have to use a Merc. battery?

[@mkwan1]

you don’t need to use Mercedes’ battery, check your local battery shop for best option for you. As I don’t sell battery, I don’t want to recommend any brand. Thanks.

I removed the 2 bolts at the rear of the seat and got the battery out. What a pain!

[@carlosportilla7634]

Hi. Can you tell me how long took this process for you? Thanks 👍

[@mkwan1]

Including recording, around 1.5 hours. The most time consuming is taking the screws out and back when they are drop. The clip on the top of battery also costs me a lot of time to figure out how to remove it at the beginning and put it back at the end, because the space is very tight, once you drop the clip into the battery cabinet, it takes time to get it back. Good luck and thanks.

[@Slowf30]

Am I the only one that had to remove the 4 bolts holding the seat down?! I tried with out.. wasn’t room to pull it out.

[@mkwan1]
