Can this be done? Safely? Both are 12 volt batteries. The tractor is a B&S 18 hp. How much is a new battery?

You can do it, but if the battery is that low you are putting a heavy load on the mower charging system once it starts. Can cause the regulator to overheat and burn out. Its best to let it charge for a while before starting the mower. Of course you could already have a bad regulator that caused this problem.

How can I tell if the regulator is bad?
Thanks.
