What battery does a ride-on mower take?

Most use a 12V starter battery between 18 and 40 Ah, such as the Exide Garden EG18, EG28 or EG40. The exact reference depends on tray dimensions, polarity and the cranking current the engine requires.

Can I use a car battery in my mower?

It usually will not fit: car batteries are bigger and heavier. The Exide Garden series delivers the same SLI starting power in a compact format designed for garden machinery trays.

Why does my mower battery go flat over winter?

Because of natural self-discharge over months of storage. Store the battery charged, ideally somewhere cool and dry, and give it a refresh charge or use a maintainer before the season starts.

How long does a ride-on mower battery last?

It mostly depends on care: avoiding deep discharges and storing it charged off-season is what extends its life the most. A battery maintainer over winter makes a real difference.

Exide Garden: the garden battery that starts first time

Garden machinery sits idle for months and almost always starts cold, so it needs a compact, reliable starter battery. Exide Garden EG batteries are 12V SLI units built for that seasonal use: they deliver 150 to 340 A of cranking current (CCA) in small formats that fit the tray of a ride-on mower or rotavator, with accessible terminals for easy installation.

EG series models and applications

EG18 (18 Ah, 150 A CCA) — battery for ride-on lawnmowers and small garden tractors.
EG28 (28 Ah, 250 A CCA) — battery for mid-range ride-on mowers.
EG40 (40 Ah, 340 A CCA) — battery for large garden tractors, rotavators and light agricultural machinery.

How to choose your compatible garden battery

Check the capacity (Ah), cranking current and positive terminal position on your current battery, and confirm the tray dimensions. You can compare the EG references in our comparison tool to find the exact garden battery for your machine.
