I have a lawn mower that needs a new battery, what kind of battery does it need?

Question

its a ranch king riding lawn mower, i tried to jump start it and it would even turn over. i am assuming it needs a new battery. its a 18 horse power, 7 speed. what kind of battery does it need?

Answer 1

Best way is to take out old battery and take it in to store to match it up. Cranking amp and voltage must be matched, however the actual size of the battery is most important if it is to fit in battery cabinet correctly. You can have the right voltage and amps but if it's too large or small it will give you trouble. Take it in with you to get a new one. This will also help you get the kind of terminals (side/top) you need.You might also get a credit for the old one.

Answer 2

Remove your old one and take it with you to get another.  There is a core charge if you don't turn in a battery when you get another.  You might want to check all  the connections because it should turn over if you used good jumper cables to jump it.

Answer 3

they sell the lawn tractor batteries right at home depot or walmart. It's a generic size.
