Dead Batteries on New tractors:
There have been several reports recently of dealers receiving machines with dead batteries, some of which could not be satisfactorily recharged. Please see the attached copy of a tag which is coming with the new tractors.
The "small electrical discharge" being mentioned amounts to a constant drain on the battery. If the battery cable (+ Post) is left connected for a long enough time with the tractor inactive, the battery will become sulfated (permanently damaged) and will not accept a charge. Sulfated batteries are not warranted through the battery manufacturer.
At present, the only alternative to removing the battery cable would to be install a battery disconnect switch in the negative cable, which would allow the battery to be easily isolated. These switches are available at most major tractor dealers. USE CAUTION when installing any thing on battery cables, disconnect the positive cable before installing disconnect switch and make sure after switch is installed that it is "OFF" before reconnecting Positive Cable.
