Default Advice on charging lawn mower battery?

Get yer string out.


And (thankfully!) put it another way:

If its sulphated it won't charge to any significant capacity. Folks used to
mess around conencting such batteries to a high charging voltage, but I'm not
convinced it was ever very successful. Lets hope the mower has a suitable
pulley for ye old pull start.


Thanks NT - Nope: no pull start on this mower. (It's a Murray, maybe
4-5 years old and a B&S engine. Must say it's not as nice as the
Mountfield I used to use on another job, but it's reasonable.)
