Thank you for the responses, I seem to have a hard time with batteries. I have one on a IH B that works great, charge it good when I park it for the winter, starts right up 2-3 months later. I have an M and an H charge both batteries good before I park them, go back and they do not want to start without help. I have load tested batteries, appear to be good, they do not have any residual draw on the batteries, checked with a VOA. Got good cables, connections and grounds checked. I can charge the batteries with a 10a charger for 24 hours, then they will be good for a month or so, then they get weak again, so that is the reason for all these dumb questions, just get tires of jackin' with batteries. I do not use these tractors much, they are a big kids toys. I really did not thinkg 270ma would really do much to a battery, so I thought it best to ask. so, I am kinda thinkin' out loud here. Now that I am at work, the rating on the chargers are: 12.6v----270mA. 17.5v----100mA OK, another idea, what about putting them on a timer for ?? hours per day to try to keep them fresh? I know the life of a battery is diminished if it sits undercharged a lot, that is where this lunicy is coming from. That is why I am looking at doing this. 6V batteries, even at dealer cost are getting expensive and hard to find. Jim
