Visit Workshop! [Need Advice]
Hello,
Left my headlights on for nearly two hours by mistake the other day. Since then the 'battery-sign visit workshop!' has appeared twice already. Any one have a clue what may be the problem? Which battery? Possible wire damage to look into?
Otherwise, the car starts fine and all systems appear to function well. I plan to visit MB soon. Would truly appreciate your advice.

most likely one of your batteries are nearing the end of the line. if you can, try to check the voltage to see if they're within an acceptable range (sorry, don't know what that range is).
I know when I left my lights on one afternoon, I had to get my battery jumped. I had initially called Mercedes Emergency Road service and they wanted to sell me a new battery and advised me that I shouldn't try to jump it myself; I ended up doing it myself. I haven't had any battery message since then and a recent dealer visit indicated my batteries were still good.
