The way I check out any vehicular battery is to first fully charge it.
I then I allow it to sit overnight, and then take the battery to my local auto parts store [O'Reilly Autozone, NAPA, or Advance for examples]. Most of the major auto parts chain stores have handheld portable testers for all kinds of issues, including battery charge and "under load" condition.
After being fully charged and standing overnight, the battery will be ready for this load and voltage testing. Naturally, if it passes it's OK, and if it's worn out or defective, that will show up in the load test.

Why does the fuse on your battery charger keep blowing when you try to charge your tractor lawn mower battery?
If it is still in the tractor hooked up unhook it and try charging it if it still won't charge the battery is probably bad. If it does charge out of the tractor you might have a short in your wiring on the tractor. Hope this helps.

Sears Tractor runs only with jumper cables attached to a good battery After disconnecting the cables the tractor engins within seconds It's a 17 Hp Kohler engin on a Sears 42 mower tractor?
If the tractor had a battery in it when you were jumping it, there is a chance that the battery is bad. Try unhooking the tractors battery and trying again. Hook your jumper cables to the battery cables themselves without being attached to the battery. If it runs then just replace the battery. A battery with a short in it will keep the mower from charging and could cause it to die. If there was no battery in the tractor when you were jumping it, then the tractor is not charging and will have to be diagnosed as to what the problem is.
