Small Engines (Lawn Mowers, etc.): battery for Cub Cadet 1045, sears diehard battery, lawn and garden tractors


Question
Can I replace my battery in my Cub Cadet model LT 1045 with a sears diehard battery for lawn and garden tractors?  In my manual it says use a sealed 190 CCA battery---- how does that correlate with a sears diehard battery for lawn and garden tractors?  They don't mention sealed 190 CCA.  Any other suggestions for getting a battery quickly for my tractor?

Answer
Most lawn and garden batteries now are sealed. Just as long as the Sears battery is close to the same amount of "CCA's"  that refers to Cold Cranking Amps. Less CCA's will cause it to maybe not be powerful enough to crank it over at a good speed. Any lawn and garden battery that fits in your battery tray (which most will) and is close in the CCA's will work just fine............Tom
