Where is the battery on a mercedes
Changing the Battery in your Mercedes Benz C-Class sedan
hello this is Alton I'm here with the
2012 mercedes-benz C 250 I'm gonna show
you just how easy it is to actually
change the battery on the car now last
time I actually check for the battery
with a mercedes-benz store parts
department batteries actually writing
around a hundred and fifty two hundred
and seventy-five dollars and then to
install it you're looking at another
hundred and fifty dollars so it's easily
300 dollars but it only takes like 12 or
15 minutes let's take a look as you can
see I have the car behind me and we're
gonna zoom in here once you open the
hood which I am going to do
Mercedes actually makes it to where you
can push the hood back straight up as
you can see here so we're gonna put that
vertical we're gonna come down and then
achieve the proper socket wrench or
socket for it so whether you're looking
at 13 millimeters or 12 millimeters
whatsoever I actually have the
measurement on one of the other videos
I'm gonna post that along with this one
so I'll chop both together when we
actually come in we look the battery is
gonna be in the top left hand corner so
here's your engine compartment you can
always tell the battery should be
somewhere near the positive marked in
most cars so if you come there's your
positive they're just gonna take it and
cover that back up now when you go in
you're gonna have to remove the cover
here to remove the cover just gonna
unsnap here unsnap here and this one
gets a little bit tricky but it actually
comes off the top the other one I
actually broke so hopefully you don't
break yours I've broken putting it back
on and I'll show you how I did it we're
just gonna take it a none snap we're
gonna have to hold on to this piece
because I broke it off earlier but it
will not actually hurt or hinder the
performance of the engine so when I grab
it I can simply grab here I'm gonna zoom
out a little bit so you can see the
whole piece here comes off so once
I have removed the cover there's the
battery and what will you need you're
gonna have to remove the screw here pop
the cover now this cover is on for a
reason on the battery so whatever you do
do not lose it if you get another
battery you're gonna have another cover
as well with the Mercedes the first
thing you're gonna hear is the size of
the battery is gonna be important so
make sure you have the proper battery
because if not it's not gonna fit within
its low area there so there again
removing the screw here screw here and
you have two there and here once you do
those those two books you actually see
there those are primarily to help the
battery keep it in place to stabilize so
to work of course you're gonna need a
socket wrench you will also need the
proper socket once you have both of
those and I'm just gonna move those out
of the way because as you can see I've
already replaced it to get this out
you're gonna have to remove this screw
here here and ultimately we're gonna
remove those two as well first you want
to remove the two up top here once you
have the two up top remove these
actually you can just take it and very
lightly very easily just take any
maneuver it off pops right off same
thing here if you've ever changed the
battery before same concept now the
screw here you don't have to mess with
you don't have to loosen loosen the cube
here you can leave that alone as well
you're just taking both of your
terminals off once you do that you're
gonna have to unplug the holes here in
this little area right here which is the
red spot that's a plug you're gonna need
that that should come with the new
battery so once you have this out you're
gonna place the other battery back in
once you place the other battery back in
I'm not gonna do this I've already done
it I'm gonna go ahead and chop it onto
this video as well you can take it and
replace the holes first and foremost
you've gotta replace two holes on a
Mercedes Benz replace the hole you're
gonna see a little divot or stop place
for it in the side of the battery same
thing
other side now depending on which side
you're putting it on you're gonna have
to actually put the plug into the other
side once you have the plug there you've
replaced a hold then to get to those now
I didn't mention this before but with
your socket wrench you're going to have
to get an extender the extender is the
same length as the socket rings itself
once you have the extender that's going
to allow you to actually get down into
the area here you can see there again to
get to your screws otherwise you're not
going to be able to fit this to turn and
you're not going to be able to get a
wrench down in that area to do those so
once you have replace your terminals
tighten your screws replace the holes
replace the plug then you're gonna have
to go in and just set the batter inside
you've got a brace there put the bracing
last and then just tighten your screws
there you have it batteries in batteries
in place and as I said once mo-more
you've got your cover here no very
important because if you take this it's
got two little divots you just place it
and plug it right into the divots now
mine will not fit flush for some one
reason and that's because the terminal
is actually sticking up work so you just
place it over it that's very important
on a Mercedes because take a look at the
inside of the cover see this area here
that's actually controlling a little bit
of the spark or the circuit so if you
don't cover it guess what it's almost as
if they're connected by the foam area
here by the fool here so you definitely
want a place to cover back on the
positive and of course the negative you
don't have to worry about you can leave
it uncovered it doesn't come with a
cover and once you put this back on
which will go ahead and proceed with
doing that now as you can see doing this
all with one hand but just make sure
this is pushed all the way back and the
other is pushed all the way up before
replace of this now the one I broke is
on the right hand side you want to make
sure that's pushed all the way back as
well just want to take it and when you
replacing your cover you actually have
the
autum piece here this part which sticks
out has got to go all the way down and
then you have the two little divots
under are the tool extinctions on the
bottom which is here and here they've
got to go into their pockets so you've
got four of those and you've got four
items on the bottom there they've got to
go back into their pockets so just make
sure you're doing that properly when you
do take this and put it in so your view
is not gonna be more or less like mine
but just to make sure I'm fixing my car
properly so everything's back in so now
I can actually take this one and snap it
back into place
with this one which I broke I'm just
gonna take it and sit it back in there
for some one reason and I actually may
hole or it may give it a little bit
support so if I put it back in now I'm
all snapped in together everything's in
place and batteries place two jobs done
