Hello everyone,
This is not a garden tractor question, but I am having issues with my Snapper Z1805KV zero turn lawn mower with an 18hp Kohler Command engine. The mower will die after I mow for 2.5-3 hours at a time. The engine dies, and when you want to try to start it again, the battery is dead. The battery is a 10 month old Interstate battery which was load tested by my Interstate dealer which was found to be at 11 volts last week. Battery was charged fully, reinstalled and tonight while mowing I encounter the same issue as the engine dies (dead battery). I don't know squat about this mower, so I am wondering if there is a charging system of some kind on this mower? It doesn't have an alternator. So what keeps the battery charged all the time? I am very frustrated, and mowing season just started here in Minnesota. Sorry for the stupid questions. I just really need some help please. Thank you very much everyone.
