The owner brought in his Mercedes-Benz mild hybrid with a problem in the 48V battery. This is not the ordinary 12V car battery. It is a separate, higher-voltage battery for the mild hybrid system.
The 48V battery is a different part from the ordinary 12V car battery. You cannot judge its condition by looking at it, so it needs a proper check before any part is ordered.
On this car the replacement was an original 48V battery. Programming the new battery to the car was part of the job and part of our quote.
The job was a 48V battery replacement. Our team sent the owner an itemised quote: the original battery, the programming and the labour, each priced separately, all before GST.
The quote gave a downtime of 2 to 3 days. The owner approved it the same morning.
Like any battery, a 48V battery can lose its ability to do its job over time. The only way to know is to check it properly, not to guess from the outside.
On this car the work was the battery itself: a new original 48V battery, programmed to the car.
We fitted the original 48V battery and programmed it to the car. The car was ready for collection the next morning, sooner than the 2 to 3 days we had quoted.
Four days after collection the owner told us the car was "so far so good", apart from a rear right signal light. He asked us to quote a right rear tail lamp for a later visit, and we did.
Our quote for this job was $3,830 before GST: $3,150 for the original 48V battery, $300 for programming and $380 for labour.
