Regent 15 hydro

Hello, mower will only start if jumped, battery tested at 12 volts before starting and at 14 volts when running. Checked the battery leads, no corrosion.
Anything else that would cause this?

Measure the battery voltage while starting the unit. If It drops below 10 VDC, the battery is going bad and needs replacing.

So that's measuring with it trying to start on it's own, no jumper cables?

 

[Rivets]

Yes

Jumped or bridging the solenoid terminals
Totally different set of symptoms for each case

 

[benson145]

Voltage dipped to just below 12 when trying to start.

Checked it with jump starter connected and was at 15.

Bought it used, someone removed the sticker with model number, believe it is the wiring diagram on this one.

Strange Power Portal just send me off to a Snapper mower.

This is from the power portal page, not sure what to replace, seems like it needs more cranking amps, battery is an interstate.
