Yard Machines Lawn mower battery keeps dying
If your Yard Machines lawn mower battery keeps dying, start with the battery itself, since a dead cell is the most common cause. Charge the battery with a charger first. If it still will not hold a charge, the battery is likely bad and needs replacement. If the battery checks out, move to the charger and verify it has proper voltage output with a multimeter, and make sure the outlet has power and has not tripped a breaker. On a riding mower battery will not stay charged complaint, the next likely causes are the alternator and voltage regulator. The alternator should supply charging voltage while the engine is running, and the voltage regulator controls how much of that voltage reaches the battery.
