My L2850 battery alert light would come on after start-up, then flicker after a few minutes, then go out. The manual claims that this indicates low fluid level in the battery.
My nine year-old battery which was a cheap replacement battery that was installed in the tractor when I bought it finally died just before this snowstorm in the Mid-Atlantic. I replaced the battery.
The tractor starts instantly and runs great. Only problem is that the indicator light never goes dim or goes out.
I plan on taking a voltage reading with the tractor off and then with it running to see if the alternator is putting a charge into the battery. I have run the tractor at least 6 hours clearing the neighborhood driveways and loading firewood.
Anyone know what is going on with this light?
Note: The terminals are connected and there is an small wire going to the negative terminal.
Any help is appreciated!
