If you get a warning on your Mercedes Benz s-class dashboard stating "Auxiliary battery malfunction," this is a common problem with many Mercedes vehicles.
Many Mercedes vehicles come with two batteries: the primary and auxiliary battery.
The Auxilary battery functions as a power source and supports the main battery.
It is a secondary battery functioning as a capacitor to store electricity. The stored energy is a source of power for the car's electrical components, including the start-stop system.
Failure of the Auxilary battery to charge will trigger the warning message you see on your dashboard.
WHAT IS AN AUXILIARY BATTERY MALFUNCTION
You will get an auxiliary batter malfunction warning light on your S-Class when the system reports a battery internal resistance exceeding 0.0 ohms.
Internal resistance is an alternate flow of current in the battery, which may also be affected by the temperature.
When this happens, simply charging your battery may not resolve the issue. You will have to replace it with a new battery.
