The parking break appears to be dragging or still on

OK ... Finally I located the auxiliary battery on my 2015 SL
It is under the fuse box behind the passenger seat

Is my auxiliary battery for my 2015 MB SL400 (276)?

My VIN is: XXXXFF034454

1. Is my auxiliary battery under the fuse box behind the passenger seat?
2. If I were to replace it do I lose some (a lot) of electronic settings?...
3. ...can I keep the leads hooked up to my battery tender so as to not lose the electronic settings while I replace it?
thanks

I think he means that you do have an auxiliary battery...somewhere.

I found the auxiliary battery behind the passenger seat. However, I still wonder if I lose all preprogrammed settings in my car if I detach either the main or auxiliary battery to get them replaced. Can anyone help me? Thanks!

I know the aftermarket sells a cheap little cigarette lighter plug with a pigtail that accepts a 9-volt battery, just for maintaining enough system memory voltage to avoid such issues when temporarily disconnecting a vehicle's battery. It works, too...but I have no idea if, or how well, it would work on a car that has two batteries, with one of them disconnected.

CTEK chargers have a mode for "imitating" your battery while you remove the real thing to maintain all your settings!
