This happened to me for the first time. I have a 6v tractor that has given me some charging problems over the years. I find it needs periodic charging even during the summer months, say once a month. When the battery goes down I jump it and use for that day, then charge it that night. No problems. I don't want to convert it to 12 volts. It spins over and starts fine at 6v. I have tried numerous types (brands) of batteries and have the same problem. It puts out 8v at the battery when running. Yesterday, I tried to start and no power. I walked away from it planning to jump it but got sidetracked. I came back 5-6 hours later and found I left the switch on. Not only did it start, it spun like it was a fully charged battery. So, would leaving the system energized pull more energy out of the battery that would normally not be available? What happened here?
