Battery going flat

[Eugen-1985]

I find it ridiculous to sell these cars without a trickle charger
Mercedes benz emailed me and basically sent me for a drive during lockdown if the starter battery is low
Who is paying for my fuel and my time spent going places i don’t want to go
This technology wasn’t thought all the way in my opinion

Hello and welcome

I‘ve 6 battery conditioners so all of mine are ready to go.
Your Mercedes Me app is using electricity to tell you it’s requiring charging. All of the modern conveniences require power. If you use it regularly then it will stay charged. I wouldn’t expect any modern vehicle to stay charged for much longer than a week.

..... I wouldn’t expect any modern vehicle to stay charged for much longer than a week.

just a week? I'd expect at least few weeks. My ML regularly goes a week without being used, but there's never a problem when starting it. And when we go away, my 451 Smart will be left a fortnight ... and that starts without a problem

But neither of them will message me with info that I've no need to know when sat watching telly

Mine will last for weeks unless the weather is very cold but I’ve put the CTEK on it today to keep it topped up and fresh as it hasn’t done many miles in the last few weeks.
