I have a Troy Bilt riding mower that I thought simply had a bad battery. However, I just replaced the battery and the problem persists. Here is the issue;
I charge the battery and the mower runs fine. After cutting the grass (appx 30 min) I turn the mower off to empty the bags. When I try to restart it 2 minutes later I get either the clicking sound you normally get with a bad battery, or it tries to start but just briefly. At this point the lights still work but I have to put the charger on for 5-7 minutes to get it restarted. Any ideas?
