    . Disconnect negative battery cable.

    . Clean battery terminals and cable connections. Ensure connections are tight.

    . Remove and replace solenoid/starter motor.

    New mower batteries frequently need to be charged for a number of hours, prior to being used. Only charge at 2 amps--higher rates will damage the battery.
