Lawn Tractor Dry Battery 96042

Garden Tractor Battery

This was to be a replacement battery for my craftsman garden tractor. The order confirmation said 'dry battery', but the battery received was a wet battery but without battery acid for shipping reasons. Unusable without adding battery acid which I was unable to locate locally. I would never have ordered this if it had had a correct description and had to return it. I consequently purchased a new dry battery at a local establishment for 1/2 the Sears price.

Dead Battery

The two lawn tractor batteries you sent were two years old and dead. Had to ask for a refund. I'm in the process in returning the dead batteries. I wou give you a zero star but this is not an alternative.

Very disappointing

Completely dead upon arrival. Will have to return it. The options for returning it did not include: was never able to use because the part did not work. Return instructions indicated I should remove the "ticket" from the bottom of the shipping label I printed out. There was no "ticket". Although return shipping is free I was very disappointed to find out I will be charged a return fee. I've dealt with Sears my entire life but won't be doing it in the future.

Dry battery

I was online ordering with an agent and he neglected to say it was a dry battery, which makes sense with shipping, now that I know what a dry battery is but then I had to get help to get it filled

Lawnmower battery

Were we supposed to get a packet of acid WITH it? All it said was to charge for 24 hours. We did. Tractor wouldn't start. Called Sears repair. Had to wait 3 weeks for appointment. That meant getting the yard mowed 3 times @ $40 ea. Sears repair came today. Cost $148.38 for him to tell us we should have gotten a bag of acid with the battery. Would have cost another $100 for him to fix. Instead will take care of locally. If we ever need another battery we'll just buy locally.

DO NOT BUY A BATTERY FROM SEARS

You need to indicate that a battery is dry and needs acid added. You should sent acid with the battery and instructions on how to add the acid. I had no idea where to get acid or how to add it. I really did NOT want to deal with acid so I am returning the battery to you
