Lawn Boy Lawn mower battery keeps dying

If your Lawn Boy lawn mower battery keeps dying, start with the battery itself because a dead cell is the most common reason a riding mower battery will not stay charged. Charge it fully with a battery charger first. If the battery still will not hold a charge, replace it. If the battery tests good, move to the charger and verify it is putting out proper voltage with a multimeter, and make sure the outlet is live and has not tripped a breaker. The next likely cause of a Lawn Boy mower battery not charging is the alternator, which should send charging voltage while the engine is running. If alternator output is low, the battery will drain instead of recharge. After that, check the voltage regulator, since a failed regulator can keep the battery from receiving enough voltage and create an ongoing riding lawn mower charging problem. Whether your lawn mower battery drains overnight or the mower battery is not charging during use, entering your Lawn Boy model number on RepairClinic.com is the fastest way to find the exact replacement battery, charger, alternator, or voltage regulator for your machine.

02 - Lawn Boy 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 - Lawn Boy 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 - Lawn Boy 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.
Highly Likely
