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

[@andrewsmith-mn5xr]

This is a legit video and worked as a perfect guide to replace the battery in a 2016 GLE350. THANKS.

[@rooseveltfurtado7259]

Thank you so much for this video. I followed it step by step when replacing the battery for a customer. It was a tedious job took almost an hour to complete the battery replacement. On a side note if you could also post the programming part through the obd port after replacing the battery would be great. Thank you.

[@ILove3point14159]

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!

[@mkwan1]

@@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.

[@pete1927]

Great video mate, I think I'll leave that to the battery supplier to fit!

[@zhengtom]

Don't understand why they couldn't make the opening a little bigger, such painful experience to pulling up to remove and replace down.

[@loganthomas8232]

How in the world did you get that little piece to unclip @2:10 ???

[@agondokusumo-111]

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

[@FortressTrucking]

So my jumper tool failed on me in the middle of the battery replacement now my settings are all off. Any tips?

Hola, puedes decirme que modelo de varta es?? Amperios y capacidad . gracias yo yengo un mercedes GLE 350 del 2017

[@davypaul9827]

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.

[@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.

[@linhpham-ee2st]

Good job. Thank you

[@mahmooddawood6916]

Danke Es ist genauso beim meinem mb gle 250d 4m LG

[@rickinofugo1]

Thank you!

[@opethabq]

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

[@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]

Which year of your car? Probably different year made cars have a little different.

[@ChasVS391]

Apparently yes!

[@dusaintel]

Yes but I bet that is the easiest and fastest. Ive replaced 4 of these on my mls and gls and on the 4th i finally said fuck it ill go the seat way. Saved me a lot of time fucking around with the little fucken screws and wires. So on the GLE ill be the 2nd one to do it your way 😅

[@mvskmvsk]

This is borderline criminal behavior for manufacturer to place the battery so inaccessible that it becomes near impossible for a consumer driver to DIY and rely on dealership. Local MB dealership quoted me $175 for labor and $300 plus for the battery. Come on EU bureaucrats, do your thing.

[@JaisonJohnson-mj7cn]

😂😂😂 no problem positive touch battery or body

[@Hasan10034]

This is so dumb Mercedes would do this . I have to change the battery now wondering if I should should pay someone to do it lol
