Didn't Start

Got in car. Pressed start button. Response was maybe one turnover and then clicking. I know with my other cars I would just remove battery and go to Autozone to test battery. Is this the same for my S550? Didn't want to unhook battery and have problems when I could have asked my forum brothers and sisters first.
TIA

Those places can test your battery without removing it.

I believe there is a small lithium ion battery under the dash that will retain those settings for a certain period of time.
