Greg,
Would you happen to have the battery number (model number) from the Walmart
battery?

if your charging system is working, and you maintain the battery, the
tractor battery should last a very long time theoretically. practical
life on a wal mart tractor battery? i've had one for over 3 years that
works great....and i think it was $19.00 or so..

Today I went on a 200mile jaunt in southern NY. Nice day. Halfway
through the trip I lost all electrical facility except ignition.
Headlight, taillight, horn dash lights out! One of my buddies told me
that he had seen my headlight getting dimmer and dimmer. I was able to
make it home without getting arrested. When I the road I checked all
connections, looked at fuses - all was OK. (Last week when I went to
the Guzzi breakfast I mentioned to Joe Casey that the battery was
getting weak, so I shoulda taken action sooner.) I have had a 12v
Yasua 300cca battery in my Ambo for about 3 years. I guess the battery
is wasted because I took it to Autozone this evening and they told me
that I only have 41 of the original 300 cold cranking amps left. So, I
bought an Autozone battery 12v 300cca designed for garden tractor
which is what Joe Casey recommended last week. So should the Yasua
battery have lasted longer? About how long do these cheaper garden
tractor batteries last? And��� since the bike was running OK why
didn't the generator continue to power the lights?? Bob
