Battery and settings

I need to replace the battery on 2011 E350 Cabriolet. Will I loose the settings when doing so? If so is there a method around this without having a obd2 setting cable?

In my 2010 W204 I think the only settings that I may have had to update was the time when the battery was replaced or disconnected.

Certainly no major settings like lock/unlock settings. Even the radio stations were the same.

There is a thing in the manual about it. But I cant see the need for it.

Thanks for the reply. I have been researching but there seems to be conflicting info. Also not sure if w204 and a207 are the same procedure. Since I am not with the car what is the correct size battery, H6, H7 or H8?

Im not sure for yours. My W204 with M272 engine has the 84ah battery which is H7 agm. Parts diagrams options show 70ah, 80ah, 84ah.

I looked up part #'s for the E350 207.456 which is a cabriolet with M272 engine and they list either 70ah or 80ah.

Pretty much same procedure for replacing the starter battery.

* Just noticed it looks like the hold down bracket on the 207 is on the front of the battery. My W204 is on the side near the engine.

I am considering hooking up another battery to the positive and negative jump posts to make sure no lost settings? I guess I will have to measure the length of the battery to determine the size. I believe that length the only difference between the H6-8.

Maybe a charger will work?

Thx for the help. I’m not sure if I needed to but I hooked up battery charger to jump terminals then replaced the battery. It turned out to be a H7. The old one was 7 years old. The job went smoothly for once.

My previous battery was 7yrs old when it stopped holding a charge and I replaced it. That was a Mercedes battery. I bought the same replacement MB battery because it was actually the least expensive I could find. I had totally forgot about Walmart at the time. Next battery I will probably get it at Walmart since its cheaper and dont have to deal with a core charge/return.

And now I have a Noco genius charger I will hook up occasionally so maybe the battery will last longer.
