When I do that on my W116 300SD, the starter disengages after about 10 seconds and seems to just spin free. So it must have a weak solenoid? Allan Peter Frederick via Mercedes writes: > The real key to cold starting to crank until it's actually running, if you > stop you won't have enough

If you were to plot the current draw vs. time on the resistance heater, I bet it's quite a bit higher in the first few seconds and drops off as the elements heat up. Maybe put in a "slow trip" breaker designed for loads that have an initial surge of current close to the limit, but then drop off.

Don't forget to put the go pedal to the floor and crank until it starts or quits. My 83 240D would start pretty well down to about -10F. That first winter I drove that car we had a week of -20F every frickin night. That was when I figured out that a 400W inverter would power the block heater...

The real key to cold starting to crank until it's actually running, if you stop you won't have enough battery to try again without charging it. I started my 300D a few year back with a weak engine (420k miles) doing that, it took about a minute before it was actually running on it's own. Lotta
