What brand of battery are you using in your Cadet (or other color lawnmowers) that is giving you great service and longevity? I'm referring to the U1 BCI Group Size that I think is correct for "full size" Cadets. I'm not interested in batteries that go in small machines, like a 382 for example. Nor am I asking what you are putting in your F-350 diesel so it cranks at -12 deg with no block heater. I saw in another thread that Napa is having a sale on batteries. In years past we had some Napa batteries that only lasted 2 years. They may have been the cheap ones. I have over 20 batteries I have to maintain (only a few are lawn and garden), I try not to skimp on quality as they get to be a sizeable investment and when I need a machine to crank, I don't have time to mess around. I'm leaning toward an upscale Napa, although I have a Diehard that's got to be pushing 5 years old. Heck I don't care if it's a Deere battery, just looking for good price and quality combo. At the moment, I need at least one, maybe 2 Cadet batteries. Any reccomendations?
