We use a solar trickle charger (~.8 amp max). Tractor is stored in a dry, unheated shed from Oct-Apr where temps routinely go below 0º F for days at a time. So far, except for waiting for the gas to get from the tank to the carb, it starts right up in Spring. Battery is at least 6 years old. We used to do the battery remove and store at home in the basement thing with a different tractor--new batteries every 2-3 years. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Two tractors out in the barn with no electric and no plans to use them this winter. I used one of Harbor Freight’s units for years on my boat… Full sun all day at the dock…worked great. I had it hooked to the cigarette lighter… sorry don’t remember specific model, but it was about 12”x12” and was a trickle / float charger… got 5-6 years out of a battery… Edited November 28, 2021 by SylvanLakeWH 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
