Battery Recommendation for GT275

[snpower]

Looking for something reasonably priced - this is a backup lawn tractor that I am working on restoring (in part) for my son. I have Costco, BatteriesPlus, Walmart, and of course online ordering available.

Thanks!

Ha! I got an Interstate from Costco. I've got one on my GT235 and two of my vehicles.

I believe Strongbox batteries from my Deere dealer are reasonably priced.

Where is the Deere battery factory?

In my opinion, the Walmart "Everstart Maxx" is the most bang for the buck, but I doubt they sell the "Maxx" in the small size you may need!
Lawn tractor batteries are generally cheap, and carry very short warranties (low quality).

Walmart lists several Group U1 L&G batteries from $25 to $40.

L&G batteries are just like automotive or ag batteries. There are cheap ones and there are good ones you have to pay for.

Personally, no matter what battery I own, I generally get 6 to 10 years out of them because I take care of them and buy the best. Anything I replace now gets an AGM replacement. Pricy, but they last and perform and tolerate storage without the need to be hooked to a maintenance charger. My motorcycle is going on 6 years as we speak!

Any $25 to $40 lawn tractor battery is cheap junk, with a replacement warranty of 6 months to 1 year max!
