Battery OEM Hyundai or OEM Mercedes
Currently have a MB EQS that’s fantastic for about 1/3 of what it cost new.
I have a 2020 GLB250 and mine was saying "12V battery" on and off for a few weeks. I checked under the hood with a multimeter and my main battery did have a low voltage while the car was off. I replaced it a few weeks back. No more notification.
I had the same issue on my w213 - same warning every now and then until one day it just didn’t start. Replaced the battery and solved the issue.
Historically, OEM Mercedes batteries are really good and last many years.
m.b. buy a Benz battery?
Depends on the car, both highway speeds:
- Our good EV, Ioniq 6: went from 18kWh/100km to about 26kWh/100km.
- Our bad car, EQB: Went from about 26-28kWh/100km to about 29-30kWh.
In the 166 body MB ML/GL, its under the passenger seat, with barely enough room to reach the rear terminal. It's also so far forward that you can barely grab the fuckin thing. Oh, did I mention that it is a group 49 battery.
the only issue I have ever had with this car is the battery dying on me in under 2 years
I\u2019m driving a 2023 Tucson Limited. I don\u2019t find Hyundai to be an attentive manufacturer. The car had a dead battery at 7,000 miles (no explanation)
I remember buying a brand new Hyundai in 2016 and the car only turned on once. Then I called them and they said they installed a bad battery and changed it lol. It went on to only last 5 years.
