For whatever it is worth, I cannot get a set (I have a dual battery set up in my Snow Trac) to last for more than 2 seasons. How do I extend the life, and reduce my replacement costs, of my batteries?
Any help or insight into why I end up replacing very expensive batteries every 24 months?
I have the very same problem with my scooter batteries. They are good for no more than 2 seasons.
My diesel tractor has the original battery, its probably 6 or 8 years old. My lawn tractor has its original battery, probably 4 years old. My generator is on battery #2, first one lasted 5+ years, this one is at least that old. Golf/utility vehicle was put away last year and it fired up this year no problems and the batter was not hooked up to anything. I don't understand why some things have batteries that simply die and the others have no problem with batteries.
During the summer months I typically put the Snow Trac on an electronic battery conditioner/trickle charger. That does not seem to help.
