Starter Battery Disconnect
Details & Technology
The battery quick-disconnect unplugs the battery ground connection and switches off all
electrical consumers. It is located in the driver's foot well, to the right of the accelerator
pedal. To disconnect, the connector has to be removed from the ground post. See owners
manual.
It must be ensured that the battery master switch is only disconnected when the vehicle
key in the ignition lock is in position 0, otherwise there is a risk of damaging other
components in the electrical system.
The battery quick-disconnect is standard on all Sprinters.
Benefits
Prevents uncontrolled battery discharge
Work on the electrical system can be carried out more quickly
The battery quick-disconnect prevents uncontrolled discharging of the battery due to standby
current consumption.
It is recommended that vehicles with extended down time be disconnected (3 weeks and
longer).
The battery quick-disconnect also allows work on the electrical system to be carried out more
quickly, since it is not necessary to disconnect the battery pole.
