best 42 lawn tractor image
Joe v
the John Deere brand 42" lawn tractor is two years old, original battery. just got through a mild winter with no tractor activity since October. The battery is dead. Hooked it to a Sears 2-10-50 amp charger set at 10 for the last four hours. the needle started at about 11:45 if it were a clock face. Now it's at about 10:00.
Is dead after this winter normal? It didn't happen last year.
What should I expect the life of the battery to be?
How should the needle behave if it was charging normally?
Would I damage the charger or the battery if I move it to 50 amp setting and leavet their. That setting seems to be for Starting not charging and when I put the button on 50 the needle jumps over to about 2:00 (on a clock face).
Thanksfor any info/advise that makes sense.

I'm NOT an expert on batteries, after being in the electrical / electronic business for over 30 years, but, I can tell you 1 thing, a lead/ acid battery can " poop " out on you because of non-use. The way that this battery works is that the acid eats away at the plates and causes a chemical reaction that makes an electrical differentiation between the + and - side of the battery. If the battery is left to it's own device, it will eat it's self. When used the battery will use all of it's plates and poles, when not used it will erode the closest poles and give you a " dead cell ". Other than going out in the dead of winter and driving you lawnmower around, there is NO GOOD WAY, that I know of, to preserve your battery. The same thing happens if you let your car or truck sit for a few months, the battery would, simply " poop out " on you. You might try a solar, trickle charger, they let the battery stay heated, which is good. Other than that, expect to replace the " pain-in-the-butt " about every 2 years. Hope this helps, don't be dismayed, a lot of people have this same problem.
