Lawn and Garden Battery by Autocraft.

These small engine lawn and garden batteries by Autocraft are a cost effective solution to your aging lawn tractor battery. These batteries are almost maintenance free. 300 cold cranking amps should make starting quicker and put less a strain on your starter. These batteries are fully charged and ready to be installed right from the store. A fresh battery will put less a strain on your entire electrical system. They are designed to prevent internal shorts from all the harsh vibrations and rough conditions presented by lawn and garden equipment.
You may want to purchase a small packet of battery terminal protector for use when you install your new battery.
I have also used these batteries in simple low amp hour appliances as a backup or replacement.

                          Time will tell how long it will last. In Northeast need to put on trickle charger on after last cut or the life of any battery won't be very good.

                              This is the 3rd such battery in 3 years. I initally bought one because my ride-on died on a Sunday and the dealer was closed, AAP was open.

                              Installed and ran that summer. Took it out before winter, trickle charged, re-installed in Spring, battery dead 2 days later. Replaced the battery at AAP. Same thing happened the next year.

                              Counterperson at AAP acknowledged they've had problems with this brand ! I bought a name brand battery that was actually $ 10 cheaper with no problems since.

                              The original dealer brand battery lasted 8 seasons with proper charging and storage. These lasted one season. If you have no other options, buy one. If you can find any other brand, do so.

                                  The U1-3 shown has a description of "340 CCA", but answers to questions about the amps of this battery state it is a "300 CCA" (and that's what's shown in the Specifications section as well). Misleading website picture or incorrect spec sheet?

                                    There are many electrical parts, some under the seat that corrode over the winter. Unplug each, and clean the metal parts till shiny and then try starting. Your problem may be as easy as some dirty terminals.
