I have a 3YO Snapper RER mower. For the second year in a row, I left the battery connected and the ignition switch to "on" for the winter. I need not tell you what happened. Again
. Is there any hope of recharging the battery? I manually started the engine and ran it for a half hour. Just a "click" when I turn over the starter. Last year when this happened, I took the battery dealer's advice and just got a new battery. Is the battery toast? I don't want to waste money on a battery charger if the charge won't hold.
By the end of leaf cleanup in the fall (end of November), it's quite cold and the last thing I want to do is futz around outside. So, I run the engine till all the gas is gone and push it into the garage. Fergets to switch it to off or remove the battery (don't go there.....)
You think I would know better. I have an EE degree to boot. Double-duh. Such is life...
Thanks!
