JD 997 Zero Turn-No Start

That is about right for a battery IMO.
I get that, and don't ever trickle charge.

I just replaced a 3 year old battery on my 2720. I stopped to clean the chaff off the grill in a shady spot and the battery didn't have enough juice to run the wipers. I think all the bouncing the battery does in front end when mowing a little fast is the culprit.

I saw an "Eric the Car Guy" (Battery Maintenance - title I think) on You-tube showing how dirt on top of the battery can become conductive and cause a drain. And we all know how much grass, mud and dirt gets on our equipment.
