Where is the auxiliary battery located in the Mercedes SLK 350 MK3?

Model: Mercedes Slk MK 3, R172 - Years 2011-2016
Part: Battery

In this video, we can see the position of the auxiliary battery of the Mercedes SLK 350: the auxiliary battery, located in the rear of the cockpit, behind a panel that can be accessed by removing some plastic clips. In vehicles equipped with high-end Start & Stop systems, it is used when the engine automatically shuts off to power all comforts such as the radio, air conditioning, interior lights, etc. This is to avoid annoying restarts of the electrical systems every time the engine is restarted; it also absorbs energy spikes, preventing voltage fluctuations that could damage electrical components. Additionally, during the starting phases, the auxiliary battery assists the main one, ensuring a faster and safer start, especially in adverse weather conditions.
