    Amazing Value for a mower battery

    I've used this battery for a Murray Rear Engine Rider with a 10HP Tecumseh and a Murray Mid-Engine rider with a 13.5HP OHV Tecumseh.

    These batteries have plenty of power for mowers with these vertical shaft engines and no lights. My only minor gripe is that the carriage bolt holes that were in the first one aren't there for the second one I bought for the newer mower.

    Ordered online. Store had thirty, but set aside battery with line down bar code. My bet is this batter been returned for a dead cell before. Got it home...then had to bring it back to store. Good people at counter, they tested and found the dead cell. It was replaced. So get your battery tested before you leave the store.

    This battery replaced a battery of different brand. This is my first Autocraft battery. The other brands last two years. I will see how long my new Autocraft battery lasts. It works well for now.

          Comments about Autocraft Lawn & Garden 12-Volt Small Engine -Lawn and Garden, Tractor, Maintenance- Free Battery:

          It was same size as the battery in my Husqvarna Zero turn tractor - but it did not fit because there were battery caps on top - to add water I assume. I had to redo my mount to make it work as I did not want to drive another 20 miles to replace - or return.

          Also even though you pick it up at a store - the warranty is not tied to that store - so keep receipt.

                  Used in my 42" Lawn Tractor. Worked "GOOD" right out of the box but only time will tell if it's "GREAT" if it lasts 6 years like the original battery? Resonably priced.

                      A:

                      Most flooded batteries should be charged at no more than the "C/8" rate for any sustained period. "C/8" is the battery capacity at the 20-hour rate divided by 8. A group U1 battery can be rated anywhere between 31 Amp-hours (Ah) and 35 Amp-hours. So the amp charge rating would be around 4 amps.
