Rick Ferrucci 17 #1 Posted November 9, 2019 Hi everyone, I’m going to need a new battery in a GT14 for the winter. Right now I have an Interstate SP40 with 325 CCA, that’s lasted four years. Less for some people. Anybody have any suggestions or recommendations? Thank you. Rick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 9,088 #2 Posted November 9, 2019 walmart U1 SERIES BATTERY WITH SIMULAR CCA , WILL DO WELL , ALSO MUCH CHEAPER THAN INTERSTATE, DO YOU HAVE A BATTERY TENDER ? that will improve your battery life , pete 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tom2p 2,394 #3 Posted November 9, 2019 (edited) appears you had good service with the Interstate - so you could go that route again Interstate battery might be made by Johnson Controls - so another similar rated battery made by Johnson Controls might be another good option for years - decades - I used Sears Diehard batteries in everything including cars ... muscle cars ... trucks ... tractors ... and always had good service our cars sit outside - so we need good cold cranking power truck would sit for weeks at a time - so needed good reserve and one car has fairly high parasitic drain - so also needed good reserve because of this Diehard always worked well I could let a tractors sit not only weeks but months in a cold garage during winter - and the battery would still be able to start the tractors late winter / early spring I got years of service from these Diehard batteries despite not maintaining them properly during the winter just recently had to replace batteries on two cars and two tractors - Diehard no longer an option - so I purchased Duracell batteries don't know who makes them ... Deka ? ... East Penn ? ... Johnson ? ... but the specs, reviews, and recommendations appear to be promising Edited November 9, 2019 by tom2p 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pacer 3,175 #4 Posted November 9, 2019 I'm like Peter - Been using wallyworld U-1 for some 5-6yrs and have quite good service from them. I now have one in a D-200 that just passed the 5yr mark. Theyre inexpensive - $30 - and of course theres a wally located near you. Oddly enough the one I got last winter, the core charge was $14!! - half the cost of the new one! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 18,333 #5 Posted November 10, 2019 If you have the bigger battery box go for a 22NF Costs a lot more (+/- $100) but the one in my John Deere GT235 i 18 years old and is getting a bit weaker but hanging in.... 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wfrpalm 218 #6 Posted November 10, 2019 I would use a battery tender on any battery you get to make it last longer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
