560SEC battery replacement
 

Hi. I have to replace my battery but the garage is too dark and my car is squeezed in there:eek:. Is the battery fastened in with something I need to loosen? I tried pulling it up to get it out and it won't move...

Thank you

Yes, it has sort of a clamp down on the bottom. The easiest way I've found is to remove the washer tank to get to it. Hope this helps.

PM Dee8go he knows all about battery replacement in the SEC.

Battery Removal
 

Take screw (part # 95 ) out of horizontal clamp (part # 92).Remove #92 upwards.
Remove Negative Battery Cable clamp(#161)...Remove Positive Battery Cable clamp(#26)...
Strain,Groan and Hoist Battery upwards and Away.

Hint: I'd sure put that MB in Neutral and push it out of the Garage , so that
everything is more accessible.

Apparently, there are a couple of small wires attached to the battery terminals that you should never disconnect. I disconnected two wires from mine that I thought went to a radar detector, which I THOUGHT was draining my battery. Well, guess what? If you don't reconnect them, the car won't start. Doh!

I have to remember to get a service manual for the Dee8gonator.
