Battery dead after 1 month
I have a GLA45 which I really enjoy. I parked it in a garage for a month and the battery was completely dead, no doors, no lights etc.. Nothing was left on indside the car but I did have the MBrace valet parking alert on. Would that drain the battery completely or am I looking for something else?
Thanks,
Ed

High parasitic draw, TSBs attached that may apply. Just worked on a '18 GLA250 with similar issue. HERMES software was already updated, draw still persists. Requires dealer to install bus recorder to further diagnose why certain modules are waking up.

If you're going to not drive a newer car for any length of time you need to hook it up to a battery maintainer in order to keep all of the modern electronics happy and not drain the battery. A battery charger/maintainer isn't that expensive and will help to avoid the dead battery aggravation now being experienced.
