Is the 48V battery covered by the emission 8yrs/80,000 miles warranty?

I have been hearing both yes and no answers to the battery question. Anybody have something in writing? I have a 2021 53AMG and I am not going to buy a new one until a major change in the model, so I am starting to be concerned about the battery warranty.

If I have found the correct battery, OE replacement costs about $1300.
I can handle that.

No need to guess, check the service manual. Here is the link for 2024 GLE SUV in the US: https://www.mbusa.com/content/dam/mb...ty-booklet.pdf
Search for "48V Battery". It appears to be NOT covered under federal 8/80 emission as it doesn't have that asterisk "*", see the fine print. It is covered by CA 7/70 (CA, CO, CT, DE, MA, MD, ME, NJ, NY, NY, OR, PA, RI, VT and WA Only)

The new car warranty, and extended warranty are separate warranties from the emissions warranty. The emissions warranty is federally, mandated and electric components are included because manufacturers use them reduce emissions.
That said this applies in the United States.

That is correct Mercedes-Benz does not cover the 48 V hybrid battery under the new car warranty. It is covered under the emissions warranty, which is a separate warranty.

If you check my post above, it doesn't look like 48V Battery is covered under federal 8/80. Only by CA (+some other states) for 7/70 if you fail the test. The federal list of federal specified major components is super small and covers just a few components: https://nepis.epa.gov/Exe/ZyPDF.cgi?Dockey=P100NNQH.pdf . These components (Catalytic converter, ECU, No OBD but the Instrument panel) are also marked by "*" in the service manual
See (3) on page 29, then refer to page 51.

[QUOTE=stktyz33;8904941]We are looking at the same page but reading it differently. The notes on page 51 clearly say that items marked with the asterisk (*) have 8/80. The items marked match the federal list that only has three items. The other item fall under “a” or “b”.

I see your point — that appears to be a change from
prior model years. Unfortunately I think you are interpreting that correctly on the 2024 GLE with the 48v battery.
Need to look at the specific warranty by model year to be sure.

You posted it's $1300.... , That's if you buy it and replace it yourself. The dealership will likely add an addition 15% above list because that is what they do. In addition to that labor at $220+ /hr. Will definitely require a teach in procedure. So easily looking at a $2500-3000 cost.

I agree the $3k isn't that much of a hit and likely cheaper with an Indie.

I was able to find 2020, 2023, and 2024. None appear to cover the 48v battery beyond the 3/50 or 2/24 timeframe. After two years in most states and three years in all others you're on your own for replacement.

Impossible to say without knowing your mileage, the length of the coverage, and which "warranty" (or breakdown insurance) you are shopping for.
