E cell level suddenly dropping

Tue May 31, 2022 11:22 am

Anyone else had the problem where the ecell level suddenly drops from full to 1/4 and then fluctuates at speed for several minutes or miles even when the battery is almost fully charged? It makes breaking unresponsive and hardly any acceleration.

In a battle with our local dealership to even get a phone call out of them or to confirm if I should even be driving the car! Been inspected twice and inconclusive apparently, sent multiple video evidence, apparently the coolant is not leaking although I have not checked myself.

UK 2016 B250E with 20k miles, we have had it a year and done £4k but was fine for the first few months, now getting steadily worse.

4 ignored emails, 2 ignored phone calls so I have emailed Mercedes and considering raising it with the Motor ombudsman. Any suggestion what it could be and how to nag them to do something about it?

This might be what is happening. You probably have a resistive cell in one of the blocks in your pack.
