A number of things will happen when the battery goes dead on your 2003 E320. First of all the car will not start. But it is important to known what happened prior the battery failing. Your 2003 E320 and all 2003-2006 E-Class have 2 batteries. The first battery, which is in the trunk, is the starting battery. It supplies the power to start the car, and supplies the accessories while the car is running. The second battery, which is located under the hood keep the memory of various control modules. An example would be: it supplies power to the door control module even when the main battery is dead so that what the main battery is replaced, you do not have to reprogram your memory seats. The car will automatically start to shut off electrical consumers when it feels there is not enough battery voltage to run all of them. It will try to recharge the battery, but if not get a replacement and put a new one in. If all else fails call 1-800-FOR-MERC and Mercedes will send you a roadside technician. They will have a battery and can replace it on the spot. Best part is you only pay for the battery, the labor is free. Somewhat cheaper than taking it to a dealer.
