When I was bench testing several alternators last summer, I put the shop battery, a $29.xx 225 CCA garden tractor battery, in the '83 300D; drove to town with A/C on, went to several stores, and drove home with no problem. Thought about installing 2 in parallel ($58.xx) so car would still start if one went bad, but tray was not quite long enough. Gerry...who likes to experiment
