Simple question about Workshop

My 2003 e320 every month or so when the car sits for a week unused, the dash glows red and says battery failure/visit workshop.

I thought maybe it's more defined details in the computer but I can't find anything.

So does "Workshop" mean dealer or repair shop?

If so, I would rather it say repair shop or dealer in this day of computer information details.

THe cars seems fine but I replaced the battery just in case.

That car has 2 batteries & a computer that controls which battery gets charged,
that is why it wants to see "workshop"

Just 1

I was told the 2003 e320 only has the battery in the trunk, and I replaced it.

The box in the engine compartment says, Battery in Trunk... so I didn't open it

There is an auxillary battery in the engine compartment under the cabin filter housing.

Thanks, I finally see it.

I'll pull it out this weekend to see what kind it is and replace it too.

Wow, I'm relieved, it was driving me crazy


thanks for the help
