Riding Mower Battery Life

I have a TroyBilt (MTD made) riding mower and the battery is dead after only 4 summers. I figured I used it no more than once a week for no more than 25 weeks a year. If I start engine twice each time I cut the lawn, that's 50 times a year and 200 times in 4 years. Compared to a car, it's about 3 and a half months of worth of starter usage. Yeah, they do seem prone to failure. I gave up putting a battery in my lawn tractor at all - I just jump it from a junk car battery whenever I need to start it; the only things it needs the battery for are starting and the lights, and I never cut grass in the dark anyway :-) |
