short distances in a diesel
Hi,
For about a week Im going to be driving my 300D four times a day, only about 5 miles a trip. While in a car I would probably care less, since the diesel apparently needs a lot more power to start, especially if ambient temps will be 40-50, so a glow cycle will be necessary. If Im driving 5 miles four times a day, each time over 2 hours apart, should i be worried about my battery? will that be long enough for the alternator to refresh the battery(the battery is about a year old, BTW) or should I make it a point to drive a little farther every few trips to ensure charging? Thanks JMH |
