Hi CaliBenzDriver,

Thanks a lot for your insights. Your theories sound convincing to me. In my 2016 E350 S212 ECO mode only works in rare occasions and mostly when driving regular speed on the high way. When I reach city area with changing speeds and stop/start it turns yellow!? I previously had a 2015 E350 C207 where it worked flawlessly. Can you explain further what one could or should do to fix the problem as you describe it?

Tks/rgds

thanks for that calibenz, In my testing on a 2017 cls 550 with eco I couldn't figure out why I was getting the readings I was getting just 2 days after buying it.
It makes more sense now.

I was trying to figure out if I should install my battery tender on the main or aux battery (trunk)
I still haven't, and now I think I'm going to hold off until I have more time with it.
thanks again.
