step 1: remove trunk cover
step 2: disconnect wires with the battery
step 3: unscrew the metal holder on the bottom
step 4: take battery out
step 5: take your wallet out, get $130, call 1800-mercedes
step 6: ask them to redirect you to nearest dealer, order a NEW OEM battery
THERE IS NO REALLY MAINTANANCE for battery, when it's gone mean it's gone.
