I had to replace mine in my NH1630 this fall, 49 months it lasted, of course the last couple of months it required charging when I wanted to use it, thought it was from setting to long between uses. Do put a charger on it in the winter months occasionaly when not in use.

Scott,
Your post reminds me I ought to check batteries in things now and replace anything that's weak before I'm trying to get it to start something in sub-zero temperatures. /w3tcompact/icons/hmm.gif

Had my 790 in for Hydro. fluid change, air and fuel filter change, and some minor warrantee work, and was pleasantly surprised to find that they replaced my relatively new Auto Zone battery with a heavy duty Deere battery and that they installed brand new heavy duty cables at no charge.

Sounds like a good dealer...

Scott,
I called this dealer for service twice. Both at about 11:30 a.m.
Both times he traveled about 27 miles to my barn -- within ------an hour and a half------ of my call. The first time, the tractor was back in my barn in three days. The second, two days.
Last time he didn't charge me for the trip.
They will have my business, even though there are two other dealers are nearer to my home.
