Use me as a reminder.
I have a tractor and the last time I started it, it sounded alittle slow on the start and the battery voltage was low. I conditioned it with my smart charger and had no warning codes. That was two weeks ago. I made a mental note to replace the battery, but forgot.
Yesterday, I fired it up and nothing happened. The battery had only 9 volts and I got a plate damage error code on the charger. Last time I had a battery problem it was 40 degrees.
Yesterday it was 18 degrees and I had to plow the driveway. So three hours later, I had a new battery in the tractor and got to work.
I almost screwed myself, if all the snow hit at one time, there would have been problems getting a new battery and clearing my driveway.
The battery was only $70 and I should not have put it off.
All my vehicle batteries are now on a 4 year replacement schedule-period.
I event wrote dates on each of them. Also I will make sure the repairs are done when its warm...
