If the battery is good, it should be unnecessary to use a battery
tender during the mowing season. If you use the mower once a week for
a half hour or so, that should keep it charged. The tender is needed
in the winter, when the battery isn't being charged by the mower. And
I sure wouldn't use it to allow leaving the battery connected. Until
you find the short, the battery should be disconnected after each use.

That assumes the charger circuit in the mower is working right. My
original was not and many people with Craftsman complain about the same
thing.
