battery - 1220

I know it's not a real cub, but I think need a new battery anyways. the one in it is a motorcycle battery, tiny compared to the actual battery tray. What sort of a battery do you usually use? I'm looking for a snow blower for it, might see lots of winter use if I find one

I use the biggest car battery that will fit in the battery tray. I find the small lawn tractor batteries last only about 1 year or less. Car batteries last much longer.

Being cheap I also use older car batteries - ones that are getting a bit weak. They will last a year or two in a Cadet.

I was using the cheap Wally world batteries($15) but the last time I was there they only had the $20 ones which have more cranking amps. I get2 years out of the cheap ones usually except for the one that was made or marked wrong(the + & - were reversed. The Cub worked on it ). I made them give me another one and the battery was out of warranty.

Bigger battery plus go with bigger cables. Make sure the connections have an anti-oxidizing agent too to keep the corosion down too.

I like the small car battery idea, might pick up a new one
