Quick Battery Question.

Just a simple question. If one of the two batteries is dead (main v. aux) will the car still be able to start? Thanks.

If the main is dead the car propably is dead too, in other words it will not start.
If the aux is dead You would have difficulties using convenience equipment i believe. To that You'll have a lot of different alarms ringin during power up and driving...

..............**Thanks**.

ARe you sure you even have an aux battery? I thought that ended in 2006.

Whoops I think you're correct, upon further reading the Aux battery was no longer needed as the SBC system was also eliminated with the W211 facelift. Even on the pre-facelift, the Aux battery is on a separate relay that cannot power the starter motor and may not even be powerful enough to.

My wife's car is a 2006 E350. I have a 2007 E350. Both are facelift cars. Hers has an aux battery, mine does not.

Yeah I've confirmed that Model Year 07 was when they discontinued the Aux battery no need for it. Thanks.
