The battery in that one lasted into the next century - over 30 years! Now, this was not the typical garden tractor battery - was like a automotive/tractor battery, as big as some of the ones found in smaller cars today. Had conventional top post terminals. John Deere brand, of course. Now we beat up on that battery something fierce, pounding around the farm. Even used it regularly as the booster battery whenever something else needed a booster start. Wish I could get another... Have used conventional batteries since, get just a few years out of them. [Reply]   [No Email]

Couldn't crank the car, and supply enough to run the electronics to get her started in the cold snap we just had... Was replaced under warranty. [Reply]  [No Email]
