FCP Euro, thanks for putting out valuable content like this. Please comment on: 1) The need and the tool to update the front SAM with that fact that battery was changed. Factory service manual seems to require it. 2) Your suggested approach to preserve memory settings such as radio stations, clock, etc.

The reason why a lot of stores don't want to mess with Mercedes, Maserati, Porsche and all high-end vehicle is because... if something goes wrong (computer reset or check engine light pop up), it cost a lot more to fix it than just selling you the battery. Recommendation for those who own high-end vehicles, 1) Make sure you're a mechanic or know the basic mechanical skills. 2) Take it to the dealership.

In the mercedes fatory manual they instruct to measure positive terminal that it has the voltage after disconnecting. And it should take some time to voltage to go down. Manual said that if voltage drops instantly there might be some fault on the system. So this also means, that after disconnecting the battery, you need to be extra careful not to short the positive terminal to anywhere ground. There wasn't really downsides with letting the system drain after taking battery out.

I am really confused. Just had my S205 in the service today and I told the guys that I have problem with my 1 1/2 years old VARTA AGM battery (leaving engine running message). I drive about 1x each week. Voltage is between 12.0 and 12.6. Now they told me that they initialized the battery (I just replaced the battery and bypassed it, was only unpowered for a few seconds). Some say you have to initialize it, some say you don't have to. Also I found out that the CTEK charger told me after 3 1/2 hours that the battery is fully charged - before the engine had trouble to start (tested twice, took a bit longer and I missed the strong noise) and the "leaving engine running" message also appeared. So the battery "should" be empty. But the charger can only charge it with about 17,5 Ah and the battery has 70 Ah. CTEK told me that Mercedes is known for charging problems, means... you should connect the charger directly to the battery and not to the jump start ports. Still have to test this.
