came back from holiday to a dead battery i have a 2008 320 cdi. I have a battery with cables, but it would not start. so i called MB they sent a truck, and he couldn't start it with his portable one so he used his power one from his truck and it just started. He said there is a lot of Resistance from the Lugs under the hood to the battery, plus the diesel takes a lot of juice to start. My question is, my radar detector was left on, and i wonder if any member has found a way to hard wire a switched connection to the overhead console. i know i could just plug it into the cigarette socket, but would rather have it hard wired. also does anybody know what size battery one could use as a boost.
ps MB said i should put it on a 2amp charge for one day

thanks for reading and any help:bowdown:
