Would suck to have it blow on a murderous cold night (8 hour days near Christmas, so it's mostly night) and have to replace it then with numb fingers in the dark.
250 amps sorta has to be enough for this car, even in the cold. That's three times the calculated draw of the starter. Here, check this Metro post... our cars can't be THAT radically different:

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
