Can a dead o r weak battery cause the Mercedes-Benz E-Class air conditioner to stop blowing cold air?

My Mercedes-Benz E-Class air conditioner suddenly stopped blowing cold air, and I also noticed the battery is weak o r dead. How does a dead o r weak battery affect the AC system? Can it cause the compressor o r other AC components to stop working properly?

Yes, a dead o r weak battery can indirectly cause the air conditioner to stop blowing cold air. The AC system relies heavily on electrical components such as the compressor clutch, blower motor, control modules, and sensors. If the battery is weak o r dead:

The AC compressor may not engage because it needs sufficient electrical power to operate.

The blower fan might run slower o r stop, reducing airflow.

The control units managing the climate system may malfunction o r reset.

When the battery voltage is low, the engine’s alternator might struggle to supply enough power to run the AC efficiently.

In short, a weak battery can lead to poor AC performance o r total AC failure until the battery is replaced o r charged.
