On my 2008 MB, the 60 lb battery is under the front passenger seat. The carpet needs to be cut to gain access. Try lifting 60 lbs while bent over and on your knees!!!

It is good of the engineers to keep 60lbs as low as possible, but on a 6,000lb vehicle, it probably doesn't matter much.

Oh, the negative terminal did have corrosion which is a contributing factor. The battery is a gel battery, so distilled water would do no good.
