12v Battery Update

Folks:

Recently got the update below. Has anyone else received the update? Have you noticed any improvements? I have three cars so the SL is more of the summer whip. I constantly have to keep it connected to the trickle charge when sitting for long periods of time in the garage.

Wondering if this update has improved things for folks.

"Increased robustness" is the commonly used euphemism for "bug fixes".

I installed the update on my 2023 SL55 on 1/29/26. It seems that the update might do a better job of shutting down aux electrical draw when not in use. I get a couple extra days before I have to put the car on the battery tender. At least that how it seems.

This car is my ‘daily’ so I rarely go more than 3 days without driving it. During the 2 recent winter storms I had to put it on the tender after about 1 week.

Over-drained and under-charged batteries that require replacement under warranty certainly is cause for increased robustness in the BMS.
