is it difficult to change a MB battery...

on a '97 C280? the reason i ask is because i took a quick look and saw some wires or coils coming out of the side of it and wondered where the were coming from? just wondered if it took a lot of know how to replace? it doesn't look as easy as my '89 corolla, where the battery replacement is just "plug and play".

IGNORE THE WIRES. JUST REMOVE THE NEGATIVE TERMINAL THEN
THE POSITIVE TERMINAL. YOU WILL NEED YOUR RADIO CODE
AFTER DOING THIS.

easy as pie to replace that battery...I would use roadside myself but if you are going to do it all you need is your radio code and you will probobly have to turn the steering wheel all the way one way and back the other to clear the bas abs warning light. Also you will have to re-learn the one touch window memory by putting each one up all the way and holding the button for 3-5 seconds and the same with down all the way and holding the button. Not sure about your model year but maybe sunroof as well.

On my 94 c280 what is that tube that goes into the side of my battery? It was loose, so I pushed it back on. I've never seen that before, do you know what I'm talking about? Thanks.

This tube is only to drain gases which maybe generated during charging and other operation conditions such as changing temperatures.....
