Re: [MBZ] W124 charging system fails, how far can you drive, lots....

That's not quite right. You probably have 50-60 hours of life at 1 amp. 
When the battery gets much over 50% discharged, it probably won't have 
enough juice to run the starter, and the lights will be noticeably dim. 
The radio will probably run a lot longer, but not much else.
