Even though my battery is new, it seems weak when starting my 1000-5. Are some batteries better than others?

Of course I charged it. It’s been this way since I bought it and it seems as if these little batteries are too small for these big machines.But did you charge it
My P1000-5 cranks slowly and typically cranks 3 times and starts. The engine is high compression and takes a lot the juice to roll it over.Even though my battery is new, it seems weak when starting my 1000-5. Are some batteries better than others?
I added a boat battery box under the driver's seat and put in the biggest car starting battery that would fit. I believe it is a 750 cca sealed battery. Anchored the box to the frame and filled the sides with closed cell spray foam to seal out water, mud, dirt, etc.Even though my battery is new, it seems weak when starting my 1000-5.

Great idea...thank you!I added a boat battery box under the driver's seat and put in the biggest car starting battery that would fit. I believe it is a 750 cca sealed battery. Anchored the box to the frame and filled the sides with closed cell spray foam to seal out water, mud, dirt, etc.
Be sure to use a proper size wire ga. for the length of cable needed.
I did this in 2018 and no problems yet winter plowing snow or summer. I use it yr. around.

I agree. Mine has always seemed weak since I got it but it has always started. Keep a maintainer on it in winter months and it still cranks slow but always starts.They all crank slow when cold
