W211 Malfunction electrical consumers switched off

My w211 battery died I went on a trip for about a month my airmatic suspension was all the way to the floor and so I charged my battery to start the car but the battery charger says its charged fully and also charged the small battery up front and went the Caria driving everything works and then says Malfunction electrical consumers switched off , When that happens the Ac is working but not that strong and the radio cuts off for power what can I do to fix this issue . Anyone help would be great.

If the battery dies the suspension should not collaps. The valves should be closed. You have 2 problems.

The first could just be bad battery. Check your aux battery under the hood if equiped. IF the battery dies at night try disconnecting it from the cable and see if it dies. IF it does drop change the battery, If it does not suspect the battery control module in the trunk on the rear of the compartment by the spare tire.

It doesn't take much thinking to run a battery check.

Just how old are the batteries in the car. Sitting for extended periods greatly reduces the life of a battery. If the battery is older than 5 years, it will probably be good insurance to replace. But also a diagnostic as stated above is money well spent.
