My previous car was a SL500.
SLs have dual batteries, Mercedes uses a AGM in rear for all the convince functions and a lead acid under hood which is for starting car. Why didn’t they just use a larger even though it is large AGM only or why they use a lead acid and not AGM under hood?

My R129 only has one AGM, but I'll let you find your way to the Mercedes forums for an answer.
