Poulan Lawn mower battery keeps dying
If your Poulan lawn mower battery keeps dying, start with the battery itself, since a dead cell is the most common reason a riding mower battery will not stay charged. Try charging it with a battery charger first. If the battery still will not hold a charge, replace it. If the battery checks out, the next likely problem is the charger, so use a multimeter to confirm it has proper voltage output and make sure the outlet has power and has not tripped a breaker. A Poulan riding lawn mower charging problem can also come from a weak alternator that is not sending enough voltage while the engine is running, or a bad voltage regulator that is not directing the correct charge back to the battery. When a lawn mower battery drains or the mower battery is not charging, testing these parts in order can save time and prevent replacing a good part. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact Poulan battery, charger, alternator, voltage regulator, or other replacement part that fits your specific lawn mower.

02 - Poulan Lawn Mower Charger
To determine if the charger is defective, use a multimeter to test the charger for proper voltage output. In addition, test the outlet used by the charger, and ensure that the outlet has not tripped a breaker.
Highly Likely
03 - Poulan Lawn Mower Alternator
The alternator provides voltage to the lawn mower while the engine is running and also recharges the battery. To determine if the alternator is defective, use a multimeter to test the alternator voltage output according to the wiring diagram.
Highly Likely
04 - Poulan Lawn Mower Voltage Regulator
While the engine is running, the voltage regulator sends the proper amount of voltage from the alternator to the battery to keep the battery charged. If the voltage regulator is defective, the battery won't receive enough voltage, causing the battery to drain quickly.
