Lawn tractor battery?

[aaustinikiki 10+ year member]

I was wondering if a lawn tractor battery could be used as a stinger type to help run a system? They are selling them for $20 at autozone and i have no money for a real stinger. would this be able to use like a stinger battery or is it non-applicable.

Not going to be as strong as a stinger battery.

Also, it's most likely a lead-acid battery that is not sealed which I would advise against using in the cabin or trunk of a car.

stinger is just a brand, all 12v batteries essentially do the same thing but there are big differences in build, power, cca etc. like said earlier an unsealed wet cell is kinda scary for inside a car. Dry cells work better in a deep cycling environments, do a bit of research, i know some guy had a post where he had like 40 giant stingers (i think stinger) for a **** good price.

I don't think so. Wouldn't it be 6 volts?

most lawn batteries are 12volt

And yeah it would be about the same as having a cap in terms of reserve power

Save up and buy a better battery,you will see little to no differance
