I'm sure the high early charging current is associated with the battery. Everything else checks out OK. In running the engine a bit longer (a 12 mile drive) the current drops from an initial ~20 amps to ~9 amps. So, the battery is charging. A std battery would charge much faster. Maybe this is normal for AMG batteries? I'll drive it a bit more and then, probably, take it out and do a full charge/rest and have it checked. Maybe it's normal????
