I have a John Deere lawn tractor. The new batteries keep draining after three weeks. It is getting expensive. What could the problem be and how do I repair it? I took it to the dealer and they said it ran fine. But after mowing twice the battery was drained.

It could be the alternator or voltage regulator.
Just like cars - the alternator could be bad. Or, the voltage regulator.
Did you run your tractor at mower at full throttle when cutting grass? The right RPM can keep your battery recharging.

I started in full throttle then moved it down a bit.
