One thing I forgot to mention about charging it... I fully expected when I put the charger on it for the meter to go close to the 10 amps that it generally goes to on a totally dead battery. It only went to about 5 amps. I thought maybe I had a bad connection and "wiggled' the clamps around, but that's all it would charge. Cables were new when the battery was changed just over a year ago, and I included those corrosion pads around the posts. If my JD garden tractor battery (full size, not a mower battery) goes dead, it will charge 10 amps on the meter, but this one did not. Also, like I mentioned, it appeared only one cell boiled. When I tried it after a few hours, the charger meter had dropped to about 2 amps.
I'm going to start it more often now that winter is approaching... or feels this afternoon like it's here.
Thanks for the input... if it goes dead again in a short time, I'll pull it and get it checked before the warranty is shot.
