What I have learned is if you have an auxiliary battery malfunction warning the hybrid drive will not work and by replacing the (5 year old )AGM battery everything was back to normal.

Welcome!

A pathfinder indeed....best way to run a hybrid pile the miles on in the early years....I don’t think they like to be stood around idle

Mercedes say it will last the lifetime of the car....What’s the lifetime for a car nowadays?!

Mines 10 years old in November, better scrap it.

I’m so tempted to say “in your case until the battery fails and it becomes uneconomic to repair”, but I won’t!
