Agree 100%
That's a 100Amp battery mated to a 150Amp alternator..What more can you ask for?
If you insist, you can mate a 1500Amp alternator to the ML as well...all you need to worry about is the mounting...and you can always build a custom mount for any alternator...
You will lose some hp on the wheels by mating larger alternators..

You need a large external rectifier for that unit and I'd certainly keep it isolated from the Benz electrical system. If you can stuff that big boy under the hood and devise a pulley to drive it you should be able to inflict pain continuously instead of the half hour of reserve power you have in your batteries.
