Vertical clearance? Grp 48/49 battries are shorter than "normal"
Merkun sizes, like 24/27 and I think the 31 is about the same height.
110/111 had room to use a 27. some/most of the newer cars don't have
room. (vertically)

The battery in the 1993 E300D I just bought is definitely bad and needs to
be replaced.
I have looked around and the lowest price I see is about $120 for a Group
49/H8.
I thought of getting a comparably-rated Group 31 heavy truck battery from
our local Kenworth dealer for $79.99 and then changing the screw
terminals to posts with adapters like the attached picture shows. Yes, I
have checked to see if it would fit! And, yes, I have asked if they would
take a Group 49 as a core.
What do you all think about this approach?
