Auxiliary Battery Location? (2011 C300)

I've done a tone of searching and I for the life of me cannot find the auxiliary battery location for this specific year. I've seen on newer models it is located in the trunk next to the spare tire. I'm new to the MB world (came over from Acura) so I never had to deal with a backup battery. Does anyone know if my year/model car even has one and if it does, where is it?

The car is a 2011 C300 Sport (4matic)

I bought my 2011 C300 new, no auxiliary battery in the trunk where it used to hold it. Mine is not 4Matic that's the only difference.

My W204 C63 only had one battery. Does your car have eco stop/start? As far as I know, this, and the auxiliary battery were added with the W205. Why do you think you have an aux battery?

Getting the red battery light on the dash randomly. We have tested both the battery and alternator but both appear to be good. From what I have read on the forums the aux battery was the next thing that seemed to give people that light but after further research, you’re right that I don’t have one.
