Already searched but results are too general and not specific to W205.
So where is this battery located?

C 180 w205
My car didn't run for a while as i have a second car.It is winter here,so very cold and a few days ago i started the engine to get it running from time to time.
At start i got the same message but while running the engine the warning disappeared.
I did a search on the web and looks like the w205 doesn't have an auxiliary battery so the warning could be caused by other things.
There's a topic https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w205/633845-auxiliary-battery-malfunction.html

Thanks, had already seen that post, not sure if it's correct or not.
Fault message has gone from Red to White, whatever that means.

Aux battery dash message disappeared but took to dealers anyway. It appears the message means a capacitor associated stop start function faulty, they replaced capacitor.

Hello,

So finally, does the W205 have an auxiliary battery ?

How much does it cost ?

Thank you.

Agree, quite annoying. Especially when the answer is already in the thread!
