Ok good to know.  I’ll probably pull the battery out of my 85 300D which I 
don’t use in the winter as a backup for the trip.

Maybe stick a little digital voltmeter into the cig lighter to keep tabs on how 
the battery is doing as you drive, so you can avoid changing batteries in an 
inconvenient location should that prove necessary.

I bought one of those off Amazon, it's kind of interesting to watch. It's how I 
detected the ASV alternator not charging. It'd be interesting to know how long 
that's been the case before I bothered to look...

The last radio/cd player I bought has a voltmeter as one of the options in the 
display.
