'13 GLK 350 auxiliary battery

Getting a sporadic warring on the dash saying auxiliary battery failure. I have found videos on how to repair it. Seems pretty cut and dry. As far as I can tell it controls the auto stop/start on the car. Does it do anything else?

Not that I know of David but I would suggest going ahead and replacing it.

That is the plan. Need to check the price at MB and on line to find one and then make the time to change it.

GLK 350 Aux Battery

I just had the same issue. Mine would flash the Problem with Aux Battery message randomly. I checked the aux battery and it was sitting at 12V and charging at 13.8 but the voltage would not get above 12.0V. The dealer wanted $300 to replace it. I found a replacement on amazon for $45. It took longer to get the covers off than to replace the battery. I have not had any messages since. It was the original battery so it was six years old.

The only difference between this and the original is this one is completely sealed (no vent)
