Mercedes S500 EQ Boost 2018 Auxiliary battery Location!! It’s Not in the bootwell

Hi first post here and I’m hoping someone can help me out here.

I had an issue with the stop start not working on my Mercedes s class S500 eq boost only 12k miles on the clock.

after reading many threads about this the problem is normally the Auxiliary battery.

so I go to mbepc.net put my vin details in and it shows that it has a Auxiliary battery. I tested the main battery and it was showing 12.3 volts so I purchased a Varta main battery and a Auxiliary battery.

So today I opened the bootwell I realized that the main battery was not located in the boot footwell but behind the rear seat compartment.

Where the Auxiliary battery in other videos on the s class on the right side footwell it wasn’t there. Instead there was a voltage regulator wrapped in what looked like a battery but it wasn’t.

I checked to see if it was under the bonnet and it isn’t there.

im really confused as to where the location of the Auxiliary battery is on this car 🤔

Can anyone shed some light on this pls?

Changed the main battery but couldn’t fathom where the Auxiliary battery is? I thought it was on the right side as you open the boot but it turned out to be a voltage regulator next to the fuse box.

I thought it was that middle grey box but that’s just empty storage for internal armrest.


As you can see 500 it says Aux battery for this car W222.160

If you are still under warranty it's covered. Mine was replaced near the end of the fourth year. Same problem as you with the start/stop.
