At the trunk floor on the S550 unlike on the W221 where it was behind the rear seat (consumer battery on the pre-facelift) or the engine bay (facelift with a single battery).
To access the battery the trunk compartment floor and the panelling below that floor needs to be removed.

The 15 Amp plug in the trunk is plenty as I peak at 11 Amps but I was concerned about the voltage drop. If the battery is in the trunk, that might be minimal.
Just a little pre-planning.
Thanks again

Tom, where are you going to mount the amateur radio head unit? I will be getting a W222 in October, and will need to install a 700mhz mobile radio as we'll, and am trying to figure out the best head unit location

The only requirement is that when I am not using it, you need to see none of it. But that is a task for the local installer shop when I pull it in.

Can the trickle charger be connected directly to the battery in the trunk of a W222?
Or can this MB-charger be connected to the 12Volt connector in the trunk? Would be easier.
