Mighty Max Battery 12V 35AH SLA Battery for John Deere Tractor Riding Mower

Years ago I bought this MightyMax to replace my John Deere 120 OEM battery. I can certify that the Might Max lasted 6 years, just like my OEM battery. You can’t ask for anything better than that, which is why I just re-ordered myself a Might Max.

Battery holds a charge and is quality. I would recommend.

Perfect fit,came ready to go with terminal hardware to boot.Started cutting grass right away

It worked immediately on installing it.

Bought this battery five years ago. I have never had to charge it or use a jump starter. After a very long winter, it fires right up and I don't even disconnect the battery. The John Deere battery that came with my mower died after one year of use and would not hold a charge or jump start. Shame on John Deere for that.

Great seller and great product! I bought this battery to replace a 7 1/2 year old Sears lawn tractor battery. First off, for an item like this, I prefer to shop locally but Sears no longer has any stores nearby that sell batteries. After checking all other options, prices and specs Might Max beat everyone else so I ordered. The battery arrived quickly, well packaged and undamaged. The carry handle on top made installation a breeze as you could easily hold on to the battery while fitting it down into the compartment. My old battery did not have this. I recently modded my tractor adding electric actuators and motors to control the left/right/up/down of the discharge chute as well as raising and lowering of the blower. I recently did some snowblowing and the battery performed very well starting the tractor and powering my added accessories. Very happy! A+

What a great product. I used this for my Ariens lawn tractor 25hp 54inch deck I bought in 2011. It called for a 28 amp hour 230 minimum cold crank amp. The battery I bought 2 years ago at the local auto store brand new had trouble right from the start starting my mower. I wondered if maybe the starter was going on it because on occasion it would have so much trouble starting it would drain the battery and I would need to jump it or charge it. I even on multiple occasions changed all my filters (gas, air, oil) as well as plugs to see if that would help, not one bit. Then I was talking to my friend who owns his own airplane. He suggested getting a glass mat battery because that is what he uses and trusts in his plane and are very reliable. So I seared for days for a compatible glass mat battery. Living in Vermont you really have to consider the extreme cold and as my friend told me he felt glass mat was the way to go even in these conditions. I cold find on glass mat batteries the amp hours but could never find cold crank amps. I tried emailing a couple of companies to find the cold crank amp info but never received a response. Finally I put the question out to the community and received a response from someone in NH saying they have not experienced any problems what so ever in the cold climate. I pulled the trigger and made the purchase. I am amazed. I have used my lawn tractor a bunch of times since I installed it and not one time has it had trouble turning over or starting. There goes my speculation of a bad starter or filter or plugs. I am sold never will I cheap out again and buy an inferior battery. Do yourself a favor and buy a glass mat in particular a Mighty Max (what a great name), that's what caught my eye. At the same time it only took a couple of days to get here so I didn't have to wait long between mows.

My brand spankin' new Sears Pro Series lawn tractor has been plagued from Day One with a faulty magnetic / electric blade clutch action. An InterWeb search shows this to be a COMMON PROBLEM.I got the tractor set up and it mowed for exactly 1 minute, then the blade clutch disengaged. After warming up, the clutch would not stay engaged for more than a fraction of a second.The lawn tractor is made by MTD, and the "DieHard" battery in the tractor is really an MTD battery. Apparently, the MTD batteries work for anywhere between 2 weeks and 2 years or so I was told.I found out that without a stout, well-charged battery, the electric blade clutch will not remain engaged, because it works off of the tractor's "electric PTO (power takeoff). So on a hunch, I purchased THIS BATTERY on Amazon, and it came earlier today.THIS BATTERY WEIGHS ABOUT THREE TIMES as much the "DieHard" battery that came with the tractor. IT WEIGHS NEARLY AS MUCH AS A SMALL CAR BATTERY. The only way this can be the case is if the battery has many times more lead plate surface area inside, which translates into more power generation capability.It also survived being shipped in a Priority mailer box with no significant packaging. THIS BATTERY IS TOUGH.Once installed and the tractor started with THIS BATTERY I was able to mow quite an awful lot of low, medium, and high, dense grass without a problem. THIS BATTERY APPEARS TO HAVE CURED THE CLUTCH PROBLEM.I could not be happier unless the battery would drive the tractor and more the grass for me.The MTD "DieHard" battery seems to be the result of letting the Accounting Dept. do mechanical design, with the results being fairly predictable.
