My car's battery is in the trunk. However, there is a secondary battery terminal unit under the hood (primarily for hooking up jumper cables).
That one isn't an actual battery.

Mercedes C, E or S class.

Too close to the fuel tank. The spark potential makes it a dangerous place.

[quote author=azian post=49113133]Obviously none of you has had the battery in your CSR trunk die on you yet. It happened to a friend of mine with his Mercedes C200, battery died overnight and the next morning nothing was opening, not even the door locks.
He eventually had to cut a hole through his rear seat to get to the battery in the trunk.[/quote

same thing with a Chrysler 300]

So my old man's Mercedes E430 has his under the owners sit "rear right" and the compartment looks like a trucks battery can fit in there conveniently, I didn't understand the need for the big battery compartment until my old man tried to start the car with a new small size 65Amps...Big guy wouldn't even crank

Naso we go charge him trailer size battery before the yeye V8 sixteen plugs engine start oo

Why not manufacture your own car and put the car battery in the trunk so that we clap for you?




it's so early in the morning and you want to disturbbusy nairalanders Ya not good oo..

maybe cos of voltage drop. Electrical engineers would understand.

There's a terminal under the hood where jumper cables can be connected. A simple google search would have helped him find this.

I guess your friend didn't read the car manual. If your battery die on you, there is a boaster terminal in the hood to boast the battery with another battery. Also he can use the car physical keys to open his car. The key is located inside the car remote. I a fun of mecedes and i know for sure you didn't need to destroy your car simply because the battery is under the car sit.

Still heavily based on an E Class W211, In fact, lots of swappable parts.

The first time I encountered a battery in the booth was when I attended an evening service in one church. I was about to drive out after close of service when I noticed a women battling with her merc w202 c class.it was obviously a battery problem and Wanting to play Mr good Samaritan/tech geek, I marched to the engine bay and commanded I see her battery. She laughed and said it was in the booth! I quickly quite my Mr mechanical guy .
