For the last 2 (cold) days the car has been very sluggish to start. I'm guessing I need to give the battery a charge. So Being lazy and not wanting to spend too much time outside in the cold; can some bright spark tell me where the starter battery is on a C218?

TIA

Easy option is open the bonnet and use the +ve terminal on top of one of the suspension struts (and the brass -ve close by…)

Is there a QR code on the inside of the fuel filler cap? If so, there'll be info for the fire brigade so they can find out where it is in case of fire.

THanks guys, I might be brave and leave the nice warm office and go and have a look. I would get one of the guys down the boatyard to do it, but I wouldn't trust them not tro "fry" the ECO :)

Use the charge posts in the engine bay. Get up out your comfy office chair and take a look.
