<p class="MsoNormal">Tom, your experience is flipped from mine. O’Reilly was difficult to get to replace a bad battery because their “test machine” that charges it said it’s good. I told the guy behind the counter I could bring in my cheap load tester and prove
it didn’t have the cranking power it should. They finally did replace it but it took 3 trips to the store. Sucks in a diesel truck with two batteries when the bad one is pulling the good one down as well……<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Try jumping it, but leave the cables connected for 20-30 minutes before you attempt a start. Even if you’ve had the charger on all night. Even with a dead battery it should start and run. It may die when you disconnect the cables, but if
it doesn’t, it should run, but the battery probably won’t take a charge.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">So my tractor battery went dead overnight. It's an Exide Select<br>
Performance battery, with 925 CCA model 31XHE with 180 minutes of<br>
reserve capacity. I tried jumping it with my truck but no luck it would<br>
just click. I started looking online, and about fell out of my chair.<br>
Prices started at $300 and and most are out of stock. Does anyone have<br>
any good sources for batteries? It was manufactured in 2014, so I guess<br>
the clock just ran out. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Is there<br>
anyway to service it, or rejuvenate it?<br>
<br>
Thank you,<br>
