"It probably sounds stupid, but I've had very good luck with used batteries I've gotten from my Interstate wholesale house. $49.95 + $15 core. I'd pick one up and use that until they get more new group 49 batteries in stock. Make sure your alternator, etc is up to snuff.
Rick" Thanx Rick...Guess what? That's exactly what I have since 8/4/17 from Interstate wholesale.....6 month guarantee.[1 month left]...Same price... but this battery IS shorter than a 49....I 'm holding 12.25 v plus jumper box but still not starting...28 degrees here so it should start...maybe starter is shot ?? Oil still too thick with this frozen weather?? ...don't have heater core on it...,,,.......12.25v means 50 % right?? Glow plugs are good. BTW alternator is new ...Indy messed up alt'r destroying my alternator mounting block[$105 on Ebay] when he put in my water pump a year ago. The two Mercedes indy's near me are real fuckups ..HAVE to do my own work anymore!! IS an AGM battery worth it .?? How can I check if starter is good ??
