Went to hop on the Murray and cut the yard yesterday and the engine was very slow turning over, but after about a minute with multiple tries, it fired up. Cut grass for about 30 mins, shut engine off and it restarted as normal.
Decided to check out the battery so removed it to put on charge and clean terminals, check water. The POS cable was almost welded to the post. I had a very hard time getting it disconnected and actually damaged the ring connecter on the cable somewhat. Water was fine in cells. It showed 9.4v. Hooked to the NOCO 5A charger but even after 3 hrs it does not appear to be taking a charge. Date code on battery case is "11/18." (N)Everstart 275cca from Walmart.
1) Should I just replace it or maybe try the repair mode on the smart charger?
2) What are my options for repairing the damaged cable end?
Thanks in advance for your help!
