C-180
Battery Location
Hi
I'm new here.
You can all laugh at this but i cant find the BATTERY in my 1998 C-Class 180. Theres nothing in the engine bay that looks like a battery. There was one cover on the passenger side which looked like it could house it but when i took it off it wasn't! Its not in the air filter case either
So either its hidden or its been put in the boot. Can sumone please get me a picture as well. It needs charging.
Thanks in advance
Ronnie

Its in the trunk, under the mats.
Which is good and bad.
It keeps the corosiveness away from your delecate eletronics under the hood.
But, because it is far from it, it loses alot of juice due to its distance from the starter.
its a trade off, but its going away with the newer batteries coming out that do not give off corosive fumes.

It can also make jumpstarting an adventure!
It makes wiring a system easier! I've heard Bimmer's have a termial in the engine bay for jumpstarting so you don't have to go to the trunk. Do Mercedes have that feature too? If so, where on our cars is it?

yeah I had an old 7 series bimmer with the red "+" in the engine bay... battery in those was under the right rear passenger seat.... was a nightmare to get to...
btw in addition to all the safety issues, having the battery in the trunk also helps get that nice near 50:50 weight distribution that makes our cars handle so nice....
