Auxiliary Battery Malfunction ?

2018 S560 4Matic. Auxiliary Battery Malfunction popped up on dash this yesterday then went away. What is the cause of the issue? IS this something I can perform and are there instructions somewhere?

YouTube has several videos on how to change the aux battery and regular battery. View a couple and see if you want to do the job yourself.

I have the same car. Changed it myself last time it went and was not easy. Burried in the trunk on the right side rear fender well. It’s a small motorcycle like looking battery. Next time I’ll try to get someone to do it.

Do you have a diagram or schematic? I see a video for a 2017 but not a 2018. Are they the same?

Not a difficult job, just tedious. Not a lot of space to work in. It's certainly a task that a basic DIYer can do.

Dealer charges a ton but I took it for a last pre-paid service and thought maybe the extended warranty would cover. It was $500 from the crooks my indy woudl have done it for half. Lesson learned and I never go back to the dealers unless I am using the my extended warranty

Exactly, $500 for my dealership to replace back in 2019 on my '08 S550. Your extended warranty however does not apply to batteries, it is a wear/maintenance item.
