I just permanently wire up a fused heavy wire/cable to the battery. Mine runs out onto the deck but put it where ever you want. I have a 50amp Anderson plug on the end. All my battery chargers have 50amp plugs on them. I can plug straight. Also use it to plug my sprayer in when needed.

I made the mistake of jumping the little battery and it exploded the moment I turned the key.I was in the garage so it sounded like a shotgun.I would NOT recommend jumping that little battery.I was so shocked,I had no idea what had just happened.Do yourself a favor and get a new battery.I got one at Wallyworld for about $25.Charlie

One of my mowers has the battery under the seat and has a safety switch that requires the seat to be down and depressed before it will start. With someone in the seat I can't see any way that a set of jumper cables would fit under there without running the very real risk of grounding the + cable. How does someone jump start a mower with the battery under the seat?Jumper direct to the solinoid or battery under the hood.

Boy, has this thread taken a left turn, OP said he got his answer in post #7. Don’t know how we got on charging or jump starting a unit.
