My 1991 CTD has one 1100 amp battery. It starts fine in all weather down to
minus 20 degrees F. The built-in block heater, and the after-market
marine-industry trickle charger guarantee that I will be able to start, in
order to go help my friends with Ferds and Cheapies get started.
Just an opinion, mind you, from a Republican.
