The new Mercedes-Benz eSprinter - The high-voltage battery and charging

Customers can choose between three different batteries for the new Mercedes-Benz eSprinter depending on their individual requirements for range and payload: A battery with a usable capacity of 56, 81 or 113 kilowatt hours. The lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cell chemistry enables the battery variants to be kept free of cobalt and nickel, while active thermal management ensures maximum efficiency. Like all Mercedes-Benz eVans, the new eSprinter is capable of charging with both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC). The on-board charger, which converts the current in the vehicle when charging with alternating current, for example at the wallbox, has a maximum output of 11 kilowatts. At the fast charging station, the new eSprinter can be charged with up to 115 kilowatts. For customers, this means that the battery with a capacity of 56 kilowatt hours is charged from 10 to 80 percent in around 28 minutes, while the battery with a usable capacity of 113 kilowatt hours takes around 42 minutes.
