Peter-Had that malfunction as well-Dealer told me aux battery was primarily for the start/stop function (Same as your dealer). Incidentally, Im due for A1 service as well. Was quoted $700. Is this possible?

FF. W212 E63 M156 non-pano 18" P2 ParkT NightV (gone but will be missed).
I have heard there is another battery below the steering wheel location. If it's the battery in the truck, it should be an easy diy because it's easily accessible.

I just had my 20,000 mile service done, and it was $339 + tax. I paid extra for cabin filter and diff fluid change.
They also fixed the front grille whistle under warranty.

Most of them
As mentioned above my aux battery is behind the cover on the driver side of the dash that is normally covered with the door closed. But i have a 2010. So not sure if it has changed locations. Very easy to swap. Battery is like $50-75 i think. Don't remember

Aux battery was replaced under warranty, $197 to check/test and then replace, I paid nothing. A1 covered under my service plan. Didn't have them do the adaption because quite honestly my car is running smooth and I didn't want to mess with a good thing, I've made that mistake before

On my way to the dealer and the warning went away. I believe all dealerships have some sort of symptom canceling force field to temporary disable any issues you have with the car when entering the service center lol.

There will be stored faults. They shouldn't give you a hard time about it, the batteries are relatively cheap and they fail very often.

Booooommmm......I read the post and get the error message.....90 mins later problem is solved by the dealer at no cost under warranty. Now only if we could turn ECO off by default, I think this would be less of an issue!!!
