You can jump the mower with the battery in your car or with a portable jump-starter, but you can only use your car battery if your mower has a 12-volt battery. If your mower has a 6-volt battery, and you don’t have a 6-volt jump-starter, your options are to trickle-charge the battery or to buy a new one.

If your lawn mower battery won’t hold a charge, connect it to the charger. If it isn’t fully charged within 8 hours, your battery is dead and you’ll need to replace it. If it holds the charge through testing, you may have an issue with the alternator.

Many of the features on a lawnmower are impossible to use without the assistance of a battery. The good news is that most riding lawnmowers come with a charging system so that you can always make sure the battery is fully charged prior to using your lawnmower again.

Listen for a Clicking Sound Starting up your lawnmower can tell you a lot about its health. Grab the pull cord or turn the key in the ignition. If you hear a clicking sound, replacement batteries are probably in your future. The motor is trying to draw power from the battery, but it’s not receiving enough juice.

Considering lawn mowers tend to sit for months during the wintertime, it’s normal to expect a lawn mower battery to last three or four years. If you’ve confirmed with your DMM that the battery and connections are weak, then it’s likely time for a new lawn mower battery.

Generally, electric lawn mower batteries last 3 – 5 years or 500 charges. However, the battery may fail within 1 year or last as long as 7 years. You will know when the battery is starting to go bad because it wont hold a charge as long.

Battery-equipped lawn mowers have a recharging system that typically includes an alternator and a voltage regulator. The result is a frequently dead battery. Another possibility is that the alternator or the voltage regulator may have failed. Replace these parts to restore charging functionality to your mower.

Set the battery charger to 12 volts and 10 amps or less. Plug in the charger. The charger should fully charge the battery in one hour at the 10-amp setting. You might have to charge the battery longer if your amp setting is lower.

Short answer: YES (technically)… You can easily overcharge your lawn mower battery (and damage it) if you leave it plugged into the charger for too long (some of us love leaving it connected overnight).

You should see a noticeable increase in the overall voltage reading at the battery when the engine is running. Starting and running the engine draws voltage from the battery and, once the engine is running at full throttle, the charging system compensates by sending voltage back to the battery to charge it.
