hi all,
my 122 has trouble starting in colder weather, and a mechanic friend thinks it's because the battery is on the small side and doesn't produce enough power when it's cold out. (i tested this by parking the car on a hill - on one cold day, i tried to start the car with the key, and it'll turned over and over, but wouldn't start up. then i let the car roll down the hill and bumped it in second gear, and it fired right up, suggesting that the battery/starter combo isn't producing enough oomph on its own). that said, can anyone recommend a battery that will both fit the battery box and provide enough cold starting power?
much obliged,
floyd
