Only
replace abattery withabattery thathas
been recommended byMercedes-Benz .
Remove theSmartKey ifyou park thevehicle
and donot require anyelectrical consumers.
The vehicle willthen usevery little energy, thus
conserving batterypower.
If the power supply hasbeen interrupted, e.g.if
you reconnec tthe battery, youwillhave to:

! Only
usebattery chargers withamaximum
charging voltageof14.8 V.
! Only
charge thebattery usingthejump-
