    There was when it was built - the energy density of
    batteries at the time really wasn't up to providing the
    amphours needed in a single package that would fit in a IIa
    in anyt reasonable spot.

    Witness the Caddies and Lincolns of the day - batteries the
    size of a file drawer.

    Now, no. No reason not to go with a high-capacity 12-volt
    battery. Or do what I did when I first had my Diesel - two
    12-volt batteries in parallel. You wanna talk amp-hours....<grin>
