CL55 AMG Battery problem, discharged?
Hi!
I have now own my CL55 over a month and it was the first time i didnt drive the car for six days and i got a problem directly, the battery was empty! I couldent eaven open the car without the little key "like old time" Im 100% sure that i did not forgett something like the lamps..
The battery is less then a half year old so i think it is not the battery.. I have also got some problems with ABC, ESP lamp and it could be something with this maybe..
Do anywone have a idea what it could be?

the esp/abc lights are a side effect of the weak battery.
charge battery and ignore the problem.
if it happens again charge battery and load test. if battery is bad- replace. if battery is good - check alternator. if alternator is good - measure drain from battery at rest. it should be less than 0.1-0.2 amps. if more - start unplugging fuses (0ne at a time) until the drain drops. this way you will identify the offending circuit.

Has happened to me several times. Mercedes batteries do last a long time.
