Thanks for your advice. I truly appreciate self help suggestions. This one has me a bit confused. The 2023 GLE350 is not a mild hybrid. Hence no 48V battery. I tried the link and there were so many choices I took the easy way out and scanned the QR code on the fuel door. The picture below is what I got It shows a 12V and 48V battery. I'm gonna poke around under the carpet and see what might be hiding where it says the 48V lives.
That's weird that the rescue card doesn't show the location. Maybe it's so small and the output isn't very high so it's not pertinent to a rescue. Hopefully someone else will chime in with additional info.

You're overthinking. It's more likely the card is simply showing the 48v battery for all models. For the purposes of rescuers, it's better to assume that all models have a 48v lithium battery than to have to know the specific model and potentially not know the 48v battery is there. The card does indeed show multiple 12v batteries even though the aux battery is very small in the older 164 and 166 models.

I think you're right.
I just had to to get a new gas flap sticker, and it's VIN-specific, so I thought it was a specific to my exact configuration. Guess not.
The shop that was replacing the gas flap plastic structure (single use only) wasn't "theft certified" so I had to show my ID at the dealer to get it. $40, 2 days.
So I just checked my QR code and I got what looks like the exact same thing as posted above, with additional text/explanation. PDF attached.
It's titled "Mercedes Benz GLE SUV 2019 5D 167.1," so it looks generic to the 167 SUV.

Generic for sure, on page 2 : "Note Vehicles of this type can additionally be equipped with a 48 V On-board electrical system. The 48 V On-board electrical system is deactivated as soon as at least one airbag has been triggered in the event of a crash. Further details can be found in the rescue manual"

Are you receiving some type of error?
No error yet. But I want to know if there is an aux battery and where it is before I have to replace it. Thanks.
UPDATE. I stumbled on this video for a 2020 which should be the same for a 2023 350. Doubt I'll tackle this myself when the time comes. Curious though about accessing it. In vid it looks like the passenger seat pivots backwards out of the way by removing the front mounting bolts. Again, I ain't doin' it.

Hmmm, thought it was just like other MB models where the aux might be under the glovebox and close to passenger side foot well, didn't know the V167 GLE had it somewhere else.
It seems to be too small and lightweight to be an aux battery. According to the part number, that's a voltage converter, not an aux battery. A failure in the voltage converter would probably generate some aux battery codes.

Yup, the voltage converter did replace the aux battery in newer MBs, they serve the same function as the aux battery I think.

Unless I have the terminology wrong, my understanding is that the voltage converters are between the 12v battery and the 48v battery.
And the underseat battery is a battery.
There are two converters - 12v to 48v, and 48v to 12v. The latter is the only way the 12v battery receives a charge. (Except for external chargers or jump starters.)

Ah my apologies I thought you were talking about the super capacitor in the form of the traditional aux battery.
The 2023 GLE350 does not have the 48 volt system. This is why I started the quest to see if there was an aux battery.
I misunderstood and missed your pre-facelift 350.
It only has one battery, to my knowldge.
You could scan the QR code on your gas flap to see location of any batteries.
