Thanks all. I am planning on a new battery for next season. But still curious, when I do have a nice fresh new battery, will my motor be prone to starting easier?


If the engine is turning over normally and the engine is hard to start a new battery isn't going to solve that. I'm not going up and read everything here but I got the impression your battery got weak fast after a quick charge, which is a sign of a battery on the way out. A slow full charge just buys you some extra time, so a new battery is the cure, but not for everything.

If you think your starting procedure leaves something to be desired explain what you do exactly.
