Do we have a secondary (AUX) battery in our C63s?

I did a quick search & couldn't really find any information regarding this. It seems that some Mercedes models had a smaller secondary battery that needs replacing sometime in the future. I have just replaced my alternator & my main battery is in great condition, yet I still get the red battery light that comes on & I'm afraid that it'll leave me stranded again. If we do indeed have a second battery, that is probably my culprit. Does anybody know? Thanks

I don't think the C63 has an auxiliary battery. If you are still getting a red warning light then I think you still have a problem. Check to see if there are any codes in the OBDII and go from there. If you are still under warranty check with the dealer or whoever replaced your alternator.

Battery light tells you your alternator is not charging. Not that your battery is weak.

No, just the one in the trunk.
