1-season-old JD ZTRak with a Briggs 25 horse. I removed the battery over the winter and stored it in the basement. (I never recharged it but have come to learn a trickle charge was needed so I have since purchased one.) So this spring I placed factory battery back into service and it fired right up and started weekly from April-Sept with weekly cuts. Then all of a sudden the factory issue battery just died. So I bought a new Die Hard from auto parts store and placed it into service. I tested it with my Klein MM600 today and noticed it reads 12.25 volts after 1.5 hours in service which seems very low to me. id like to check the stator output but noticed it’s a 1-wire yellow coming down out of shroud to the voltage regulator and single red going from VR to the battery. Not sure how I can test the stator output without a two-wire lead. Any direction will be greatly appreciated. Also I don’t have the Briggs model number with me at the moment if that’s important to have. I can follow directions if anyone has the sequence and multimeter settings so I don’t blow it up.
