Battery Dead
 
So I got a new battery for my 127 like 3 months ago, and it has been fine ever since. So for the first time today, it was DEAD !!! has 6volts reading. Put the charger on it and its not charging fast at all, the amps are still up there not coming down fast at all. the other thing is the tractor has been starting very lazy, I check all grounds and even put an extra ground cable on it. LAzy slow starting. SO for ha ha's I cranked it wit the charger on and she spun up FAST, and started with a few seconds !.

I think I have a bum battery......... Plus I took charger off and it reads like 12.6v then the volts start to drop.......Its off tractor on bench........

Bum Battery?

Yep
 
Yes I am bringing it today back to the store. It's only a few months old. I actually just took off all the ground wires too and VR and used my angle grinder to really clean up all the ground spots too. Hopefully that will also help a bit with the lazy starting. I also added a extra ground wire from the starter generator to the battery.
