New, weird start-up issue ??

[MikeD1]

Well, it's on the trickle charger as usual. Hopefully it will hold out for a few weeks till I can get a new one installed !

Yeah, heard it was a real PITA to get out, not going to try it myself - can feel the backache, knee pain & muscle cramps just thinking about it

I did the DSRT battery as well already.

(Only one found??)

I moved the seat all the way forward and then it wasn't too bad.

The V6 versions have 2 batteries. 1 'regular one' and a 2nd, smaller one for the crappy stop/start 'feature'
No idea what that little storage compartment looks like with 2 batteries jammed in there, but gotta imagine it's a beotch to get them out !

Has any one tried a battery Mender? The one I have actually desulfates the battery, charges the battery and will not allow the battery to "Full charge" and will test the battery. I brought a small Power washer battery to life with it after desufating the little battery it charged and works well in the powerwasher now. Its pricey no issues with it. I have three of them, Pontoon boat, John Deere and Cat in the winter. Had this one on Cat all winter.

I had one of those NOCO Genius chargers. It was suppose to do all that but never seemed to really help & broke completely after a few years.

Well finally made it to the dealer & had them pull the codes, they said it seemed to be mostly power related.

Swapped out the battery and have had 2 normal starts since - thankfully no electrical gremlins !
