I should add that I installed a 150a alternator from an R230 and added a 4awg wire from the alternator to the + post on the driver's side inner fender so at least my charging system can deal with afterglow and bring the battery back up quicker than stock. We're taking the car up to Tahoe this weekend so it'll see a few cold starts below freezing. Living dangerously.

Like your pic. I was that kid.
Except I did it by plugging in one of those old school plugs that did not have the finger guard. Fingers slipped across the blades and also I was making contact with the big steam radiators we had growing up in Chi-town. Next thing I remembered was being on the floor on my butt about 6 ft away. I was 4 or 5 at the time. Lived to tell about it and even though I'm around 480 or higher on a regular basis that remains the worst hit I've ever gotten.
