Alright small engine gurus...................older Murray riding mower. Has a relatively new battery (last summer) that stays on a maintainer and is fully charged (according to the charger/maintainer), but when I go to crank it, it struggles to even turn over and won't crank. It'll barely turn over a couple of times, then nothing. If I hook jumper cables to it, it fires right up.
This was an issue last year (I posted about it), where I was having to jump start it due to a bad battery, but eventually it wouldn't even start on cables. Once I replaced the battery, it went back to normal. I can't imagine a battery would go bad this quickly, when kept on a maintainer......am I wrong?

disconnected the battery, cleaned both cables and terminals and put them back on good and tight.........just clicked. guess I'll get the battery tested. got 3 summers out of the one that was in it before, and it was in the mower when I bought it....maybe I just got lucky with that one.

Mine did the same thing. Charger showed good. I replaced battery and it fired right off. I did get 3-4 years out of that one.
Don't blame me for your bad decision-

The battery maintainer could be bad and overcharging the battery. I ruined a small battery with one that never cut off so I started charging them every few weeks for just a few hours or overnight with a different charger and chunked the unit I knew was bad.

3 years is good out of them little batteries. Go ahead and replace it.
