Question 2013 E550 wont start

The car has been parked but started weekly since the end of September. Lately, I've felt that the crank is longer than usual and when I tried to start it today the electronics turned on the first time. And the second time even the electronics did not turn on. I took a video which is attached to this post. I'm assuming it's the battery since it's still on the original one but I'm not sure.

If the battery hasn't been maintained or the car has been started then shut off then yeah. Charge your battery and hope it comes back to life.

disconnect and charge the aux battery in the trunk, too. I would use a small smart charger thats only going to output a couple 3 amps, maybe 4 amps max, because its an 18AH AGM battery.

It was still on the original battery from march 2013 so I had it replaced and now it starts with no struggle.
