Hi, I had just bought a battery charger that has 50/10/6<>2 amp settings. When I have a dead lawn mower battery, I am so confused on what amp to set charger at to charge it. I hear some say 2 amp slow charge is best, some say they do 10 amp. Not sure what is right. No interest in a battery...

Ok thanks I wasn't sure if I was supposed to charge on 2 amp or 10. So you charge on 10 amp the whole time? And how long does it take to charge?

I am planning on buying a battery charger for my lawn mower battery just in case mower does not start up in the spring. I have no interest in getting a battery maintainer to put on it in the winter. I just want a charger to charge battery in the spring if it is dead. Need to know what size...

Thanks TobyU for all your help. So basically if you can't get your mower to start in spring, your first go to would be to put battery on charger and not jump start it correct? Also I was planning to buy a charger for this purpose. Is it fine to charge battery at 10 amp setting? (At least I think...

I usually I usually left battery hooked up when storing and come spring, it will start up without charging (at least for the first 3 or 4 years I owned the battery). If it does that than I don't need to charge it before I start it in the spring, right? I assume alternator on mower will charge...

So when So when you stored mower for the season, you just kept it hooked up and didn't charge it in the off season and hoped for the best in the spring and if it didn't start you charged it?

You don't use the trickle charger on mower, you just use that on your grandma's car?

So when you store in the fall, you just disconnect it and don't charge it for storage correct? And when you start the season, do you charge it only if mower wont start or do you automatically charge it no matter what? The only reason I ask is because sometimes I disconnect the battery in winter...

I meant I meant if i take battery to auto zone, it is too weak to start mower

It probably won't crank engine if I take it in to auto zone cause that would be the only reason I would take it to there is if it doesnt crank. Unless when they check it, that puts enough charge on it to where it will crank then

Ok thanks

Ok thanks. Just one last question: if I take dead battery to autozone and they test it and say it's still good, I will have to take it home and put on a charger to fully charge right?

If I take battery to auto zone to test it, will they have to charge it fully to test it, or will it tell right away if it's bad?

I keep my mower in garage where it is around 50 degrees and I keep battery in mower and just unplug negative cable when storing. That is all I mainly do. You said if I charge battery in mower to make sure I charge it with cables unhooked, just curious why they need to be unhooked. Does it hurt...

Hi, im new to rider mowers and just have a few battery questions. #1: When you go to start your mower for the first time in the spring and it doesn't start, do you just go and buy a new battery or do you try to charge it first? #2: If you try to charge it, how do you know if battery will take a...
