How it works

High-voltage lithium-ion pack with an 11 kW AC and 100 kW DC charger. The brochure does not describe modules or a home-discharge schedule.

Notes

Mercedes-Benz UK EQB brochure, effective September 2024 production: EQB 250+ battery capacity 70.5 kWh, lithium-ion high-voltage, operating voltage 400 V, 11 kW AC and 100 kW DC, CCS-2. Cell count, chemistry subtype, cooling, pack weight and dimensions were not in the table. Kerb weight on that page is the car, not the pack. Brochure battery warranty: 8 years or 100000 miles. Scheduled V2H not described. Used bulk price not confirmed.

Red flag

NHTSA 26V073 supersedes 25V050 and 25V894, whose software remedy Mercedes later judged not fully effective. Certain US 2022-2024 EQB 250+, EQB 300 4MATIC and EQB 350 4MATIC, 11895 vehicles, built 13 Dec 2021 to 9 May 2024. Farasis cells. An internal short at high state of charge might lead to a fire, with no warning if parked. Until the pack is replaced: charge to 80% at most and park outside. The filing says a supplier change from 31 July 2024 stops the defect on later production. A September 2024 UK brochure date does not prove a given car is outside that population.
