Exclamation CLS63 - 2014 - Start up slow when engine warm

I see there are a number of people who post about starting issues. E.g. Start/Stop not working.

Recently, the engine has started slowly when warm.

It seems the first port of call is to check the battery ? Then the starting sequence?

Any thoughts/Advice on who/what/how to investigate ?

Oh nice. Yeah, that was changed last year. Not sure what powers what. But potentially worth it. I was advised a 6 year max lifespan for each bat..

which year is yours ?

Also, does yours make any rattle/cabin noises. The amount of clicks and rattles it has is silly for a premium car
