Manually move passenger seat?

Anyone know if there is a way to manually move the passenger seat forward? Long story short, I left my STAR diagnostic plugged into my ML350 overnight and it completely drained/killed the battery (5.4V). I got a new battery to replace it, but can't access it because the front passenger seat is all the way back and down. I may have to resort to pulling out the seat completely.

Why not call MB Road Service, let them jump start the car and then move the seat up?

Or just connect a portable/spare battery to the jump-start points under the hood.

That was my first attempt, was the battery charger, but it stopped at 7V, as it auto switches between 6V and 12V batteries. Second attempt was hooking up a DC bench power supply set to 13V and 5A. That worked to resurrect the battery, and move the seat forward!
