Your battery may have a bad cell � have your local auto parts store �test� the battery for �load� � most do this for free; If you find the only one that wants to charge, go somewhere else. If it is not the battery then you have an overnight power drain. A light staying on, the radar detector plugged in, the DVD player plugged in, the Cell phone charger plugged in. Anyone can find the easy fixes, the hard ones are just that. These types of drains can normally only be found with an AMP meter and by going through every base circuit in the van to find what is drawing power and then determining what should not be drawing power. � To imagine the complication in this procedure, imagine you�re the water company, and someone has a leaking faucet, and you need to know who it is. So, you turn off everyone�s water and then turn them back on, one at a time until you find the one pipe that shows someone using water. Then you follow that pipe to the block it supplies, then go door to door � ETC � This is best left to someone who knows car electrical systems. A 1998 AWD ASTRO - My battery was sometimes dead. Dealer reported finding no problems. By chance, I discovered excess grease in passenger window lift track penetrated and shorts the electronic window lift motor - A warm day, at night grease gells by morning the battery would be dead.

Why is battery going dead in your lawn tractor?
Either the battery has a dead cell, which will require you to replace it, or something is on pulling power from the battery. Disconnect the negative cable and leave it off overnight. If the battery is dead the next morning the battery is defective. If not, then find out what is pulling power from the battery. Ignition switch may be defective.

What could be wrong if the battery is good and the alternator is good but the battery keeps being drained?
Something is causing a drain on the battery even with the vehicle off and nothing turned on. A good mechanic can do a drain test on the battery to see what may be draining the charge. A dead cell in the battery itself will also cause the battery to go dead. Disconnect the negative battery cable overnight and if the battery is dead the next morning it has a dead cell and must be replaced. If not look for a light that is on or a relay that is stuck.

Either the battery has a dead cell, which will normally drain it overnight, or something is on pulling power from the battery. If the battery has a dead cell it will have to be replaced. The easiest way to determine this is to fully charge the battery and then disconnect the negative cable overnight. If the battery is dead in the morning it has a dead cell. You may not even be able to charge it with a dead cell. If the battery is still fully charged the next morning then you have another problem. Check all the lights on the vehicle. Under hood, trunk, dome, curtorsey, glove box, etc. One of them may be staying on. Also check your brake lights. If you find no lights are on then you may have a relay that is sticking. Can be power windows, locks, seat, etc.
