What the Mercedes-Benz GL-Class AMG takes
As an SUV, the GL-Class AMG carries a larger battery than a saloon, and the engine bay runs hot in traffic. Larger cases mean more capacity, but they also suffer more from long idling with the AC on.
Versions of the GL-Class AMG from about 2015 onwards are more likely to have start-stop and a battery sensor, which means an EFB or AGM battery and sometimes registration after fitting.
Mercedes sizes are DIN, counted in amp-hours. The A-Class and four-cylinder C-Class and GLC usually take a 70 or 80Ah AGM, the H6 and H7 cases. E-Class and six-cylinder cars move to 80 or 95Ah, H7 or H8. S-Class, GLE and G-Class commonly carry 95Ah, and some go to 105Ah in the H9 case. Older cars without start-stop were built with flooded batteries in the same cases. Auxiliary batteries are small, from about 1.2Ah on some models to 12Ah or more on others, and are matched to the part fitted.

Mercedes-Benz fitting notes that apply to the GL-Class AMG
- The main battery is AGM and goes back as AGM, same case and amp-hours. The battery sensor on the negative clamp is unbolted with the cable, never prised off.
- Batteries mounted under a seat or in the boot have a vent tube to carry gas out of the cabin. It is transferred to the new battery and the unused vent hole is plugged.
- An 'Auxiliary battery malfunction' message refers to a separate small battery, not the main one. It is tested on its own and replaced only if it has failed.
- Power is kept on with a memory saver. Afterwards the technician clears stored low-voltage faults, runs the battery reset with a scan tool on models that call for it, and resynchronises the windows and sunroof.
Signs a Mercedes-Benz GL-Class AMG battery is on its way out
- The ECO start-stop symbol stays yellow and the engine no longer cuts out at traffic lights.
- A red battery symbol or a message to stop and leave the engine running appears. That points to charging as much as to the battery, so the alternator is tested too.
- Comfort features drop out one at a time, seat ventilation, rear screen heating, keyless entry, while the car still starts.

Mercedes-Benz GL-Class AMG battery: FAQs
What battery does a Mercedes-Benz GL-Class AMG take?
It depends on the model year and engine. The technician confirms the exact size and technology from the battery already fitted or from the chassis number, then fits the same specification. For the GL-Class AMG we most often fit Varta, Bosch, Exide.
How long does it take to replace a Mercedes-Benz GL-Class AMG battery?
Fitting usually takes 15 to 30 minutes once the technician is at the car. Typical arrival in Al Taawun is 20 to 35 minutes, so most GL-Class AMG owners are driving again within an hour of calling.
Can you replace a Mercedes-Benz GL-Class AMG battery in a basement car park?
Yes. Send the tower name, level and bay number. If the van cannot enter, the technician carries the battery and tools to the car.
What does 'Auxiliary battery malfunction' mean on my Mercedes?
It means the small second battery, or on some models the voltage converter that does its job, has failed. The car still starts from the main battery, but start-stop is disabled and some backup functions are lost. The technician tests both batteries and replaces only the one that has failed.
Where is the battery on a Mercedes ML or GLE?
On the ML and the first GLE it is under the front passenger seat, beneath a carpet flap and a cover. Later GLE models place it elsewhere, which the technician confirms from the model year. Either way there are jump terminals under the bonnet, so the car can be powered up before the battery itself is reached.
