Hey friends, I have a CC LT1045 either 2007 or 2008 model. I can't keep a charge on the battery. Any ideas? I have replaced the battery every year and still after I crank it up 3 or 4 times, I have to put the battery on a charger. HELP!!!!!!!!!!:confused 2:

Your battery 'should' last around 3 years...
Check the Voltage at the battery with the engine running... That will give you an indication of the alternators ability to charge the battery.
Running an electric clutch on a machine that is not properly charging the battery will get very expensive because it will allow the clutch to slip as the voltage decreases. You need to fix the charging problem asap.

:smile: Just to expand on what KennyV stated. Check battery voltage before starting and then after starting at WOT, shoud be in the 13.7 volt range.
