Mercedes-Benz EQ Battery Service

Owning a Mercedes-Benz EQS offers several benefits, including efficiency, peerless luxury, and zero emissions on every drive. However, it also means you will have a different maintenance schedule than a standard vehicle. One of the most significant differences is apparent in Mercedes-Benz EQ Battery Service, as Mercedes-Benz of Los Angeles explains.

How is Service Different For Mercedes-Benz EQ Vehicles?

New Mercedes-Benz EVs have no internal combustion engines. As such, many common maintenance tasks like oil changes and spark plug replacements are a thing of the past. Other components are still present but are simplified; for example, you’ll still find a transmission, but it’s only one speed.

The most significant difference lies in the lithium-ion battery pack in your EV. Inspecting it every 10,000 to 20,000 miles will alert us to visible damage, charging issues, temperature regulation, or problems with the charging port. In the rare event that something goes wrong, our qualified technicians will conduct repairs using genuine Mercedes-Benz parts.

What Service Remains the Same?

Your car will still need routine tire rotations and replacements, wheel alignment, brake inspections and maintenance, HVAC inspections and maintenance, and other essentials. Your owner’s manual outlines proper time or mileage-based intervals for the essentials.

How to Extend the Life of Your Mercedes-Benz Battery

Aside from following the recommended routine maintenance from our Mercedes-Benz dealership in Southern California, a few simple habits can extend the life of your Mercedes-Benz battery.

  • If possible, don’t charge your battery every day.
  • Keep the charge above 20%, but don’t exceed an 80% charge.
  • Keep your vehicle in a climate-controlled environment like a garage, avoiding temperature extremes.
  • Use Level 2 charging whenever possible, using Level 3 DC Fast Charging only when absolutely necessary.
  • If you plan to store your car for an extended period, do so with a charge of at least 50% to avoid excessive self-discharge.
