Default 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?

Default 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.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
