- 2009 Kubota RTV 900, 2009 Kubota B26 TLB & 2010 model LS P7010
Well after more than 5 years of mostly setting idle, my LS P7010 battery died. After setting unused since last fall, I went out today to crank it up so I could till up the garden. Battery was 1 volt. I got it cranked with my battery charger on engine Start and unhooked my row hippers, hooked up the tiller and tilled up my small garden. After about 30 minutes of use, it started again after I stopped in when back in the shed. I hooked up the battery charger and it said 12.7 volts. I will let it charge for a day or so till it shows full charge but I doubt it will hold for very long.
The battery is more than 5 years old so that is about as much as I have ever gotten from a battery although my 2009 Kubota B26 still cranks up but it gets used at least once a week weather permitting. It did set for much of December and January without cranking and still made it. Right now it is the winner for longevity. I will for sure look for another one of the same brand to replace it when it is time.
Anyone else with an older model LS have a good or bad battery story?
