Hello Forum I have recently purchased an XClass 350 and it appears that the battery has failed. Whilst the car is at the dealership I have come across the website and I am beginning to become suspicious as to what is going on with the electrical system of the vehicle. Despite only have done 21000 kilometres it appears to be on its second battery and I expect the dealership will want replace this battery at my cost. I am concerned about this problem as it may be ongoing and Mercedes is unlikely to accept responsibility and pass the issue off as simply another battery failure. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, if you look down the forum page a bit you should see a post titled 'Reoccurring Flat Battery'. Have a look at it because it has some things in common with your problem. In my reply I described my problem at the time - now my new battery still reads low voltage (ie low 12s) so it seems I might have a problem, but the engine starts OK so I am going to keep going with it since the vehicle is now out of warranty. I suspect that this is an issue with the X-Class rather than the batteries.
