Mercedes Sprinter Battery Location and Removal Proceedure
Вставка

- Here's a video on me removing the battery from my 2010 NCV3 Sprinter van. It's quite a cumbersome procedure which requires specific tools as shown in the video.
Remove the ground first. Always. If you hit the chassis with your wrench while touching the neg terminal, it does nothing. If you do it while touching the positive terminal and the neg terminal is still connected, you short the battery to chassis/ground and cause a serious surge that can damage your battery and/or vehicle electronics.
This is why you always remove the neg cable first.
But I do want to thank you for doing this video. It is quite ueseful for people who do not know where the battery on a mercedes sprinter actually is!
Thanks for the video, a couple of things though. You should always remove the negative first then then positive and then in reverse for connecting. It removes the chance of shorting anything if you happen to touch the positive cable to anything while the (black) negative connection is still connection.
what size is the bolt. important info s
T25 for plastic trim, T30 for metal battery cover
Thank you for this. I'm converting my van into a camper and want to link my van battery to my leisure battery ( am planning ahead) so that when the van battery is full the charge can go to my leisure battery - but I couldn't find the van battery! When it wasn t under the bonnet I thought it would be under the driver's seat but no it wasn't there either. Now I shall go and say hello to my battery in the next couple of days. Many thanks.
You're very welcome!
We bought a used Thor small motorhome on a Sprinter chassis & have been searching for the house battery!! Thank you so much! Ours is located on the drivers side under the floor board like you said!! Great info!! Appreciate your video, don’t need to replace any battery’s yet but wanted to know where everything is located for the future!! Thanks again!!!!
Not bad at all, really, Thanks! Sparks narrowly averted by chance (as mentioned by Rick Crespo) and also a good thing that the van didn't lose its marbles when the battery was taken out. Some vehicles these days need a diagnostics computer to reset the vehicle's electronics if a backup battery isn't connected in parallel to the battery cables BEFORE removing the vehicle battery. Some Mercs have a seperate "systems" battery for this requirement.
owch, i was very tense when you were undoing that positive terminal and hitting the body with the metal wrench :o lucky it has plastic on that bit :o
Flipping heck, give the guy a break about the battery terminals, I found it very helpful (there are four batteries on my sprinter and I only found three till today!!)👍
any real mechanic would know to remove the negative post first to reduce sparking risk. this guy is removing a live positive terminal with a metal tool which he almost shorted out to the body
I almost had panic attack when watching the video. “-” first - Always.
Agreed
He did point out that he'd already disconnected the battery isolating cable first, nevertheless...negative first, then positive, connect battery opposite way but don't forget to reconnect isolation cable after
Nice video, but one thought. Never remove positive lead first because you can make short circut with car body.
Do you disconnect the connection that you state At about 2:09 second in first? If so when do you reconnect it after fitting your new battery?
Majster, pierwszy odkręcasz - drugi + przykręcając odwrotnie + potem - 😂 Amatorstwo😂 Nic tak nie poprawia kondycji akumulatora jak zwarcie😂 Zdrowy rozsądek😂
Thank you so much for this good sir.
Thank you I went looking for my Merc Sprinter battery then decided to consult UA-cam
You don’t need to disconnect everything on the positive multi clamp just undo the clamp on the pole.
Thanks for posting this - very helpful. They don’t make it easy to find, charge or replace aye!
It would have been nice if you mentioned the size of the bolts that you had to use the extension to get to that hold the battery down. 14mm also?
Question !! Is there a factory installed auxiliary battery for a 2006 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 ? Thanks
thank you, helpful to me.
Thanks , you save my poor job.
no worries bud
ALWAYS disconnect the earth terminal first.
If not, any metal tool used on the positive (+) terminal, could short to surrounding earthed metalwork like the floor or seat box.
Apart from waking you up with a shower of sparks, it could destroy some of the sensitive electronics that modern vehicles are filled with, or even trigger the airbags.
Can you show us how to get into that location, from start to finish always helps.
Thanks bro. I was losing my fucking mind looking for it
Remember you can get video editing software and use jump cuts
You do things the hard way
Just disconnect the terminals leave all the other stuff connected remove negative first
One day this video will trend with mil views
lol
Sirvio de mucha ayuda
That plastic "thing" is a venting tube which you disconnected. iI vents the battery fumes so you don't breath them. Best to re-attach it.
ah ok thanks
How do you jump a 2017 Tiffin Wayfair
Of course I can't find a video on ours, it has 3 post on the battery, I haven't even found the replacement battery yet 😑
Is it bad if you jump the car from this battery?
I saw you disconnected a wire from the side of the battery. Do you need to go to the dealership to get their battery or can you go to a auto store and get one there? Thanks
I bought a new one online... so yeah an auto store with the same spec battery works fine
Never remove the positive terminal first
Mr. Lucky, that had to be one dead battery!!!
You should remove the neg first
Hi , will removing the battery upset any settings like onboad computer?
don't think so - it didn't for me at least!
Hi there, thanks for putting this video on you tube I have just brought the same van in February to convert in to a camper also in black never paid a lot, it had no mot left it near my home in London for a month ,went to it yesterday alas no life whatsoever and could not find the battery so then went on you tube and saw your video about your van so many thanks for all your information best regards Mike...
funny stuff - the same thing happened to me actually! Good luck with the conversion
was going to ask same question thanks . need to do some welding in the back for a camper bed frame and mine is already hooked up to 170 amp leisure battery,s
So that is where the bugger is hiding thought I was going mad
My right hand drive, 2019 sprinter, due to unforeseen circumstances, fully drained the battery. I have a manual key to open the driver's door, but the passenger door won't unlock or open. Therefore I can't pop the Bonnet because the handle is impeded by the door. Poor design. Taking the battery out, home and recharging is the only choice.
Спасибо🙏💕
Thank you
Hi you must take the negative off first. The battery stores a large ampage. If you take the positive off first and the tool you use comes in contact with any bare metal part you will have a large flash and molten metal every where and possibly lose a digit or two. For gods sake every one take the negative off first !!!!!!!!
ok thanks for the tip
Save alot time if just remove the 10mm from battery terminal,earth first
That is not the way you remove the batter in any vehicle, you are dangerous as fuck, never remove the possitive first.
Are there any other items in the battery box besides the battery. Other controls for the engine for example?
it's all in the vid - the connectors, the fuse box and the bracket holding it underneath
Why on earth would mercedes make it so bloody hard to get to the battery? I haven't got those star tools.
torx not star tools, sounded like a complete retard when he kept calling them star tools, They're T30 torx socket
Buy a set of dewalt bits, you'll need the T25 for plastic trim and T30 for metal battery cover...doesn't have to be dewalt
Typical Mercedes scam for money. Battery can be detach easier but they choose not no do it.
all ways disconekt negative first)
What a Dummy...Just kidding...Good effort! When you started on that positive I knew things were suspect...At least I got some visuals before I start on mine...
Bare metal ratchet, goes for positive first!??? that made me twitch lol
Why take the battery out?
to replace it :-)
First off its the WRONG battery!!
At least it's a battery. Where's the other one?

this guy clearly has no idea what he is doing
Not the best video. Remove this thing. Remove that thing. No specific tool sizes mentioned.
so eine Drecks Übersetzung da sollte man das Video eigentlich gar nicht senden
Thank but is just a shit rusty car. I just live the transits and absolutely hate the stupid sprinters. Even like the Renault masters more in our company.
