livram Posted September 11, 2024 Posted September 11, 2024 Does anybody know a source for a replacement battery for a Troybilt Riding Mower Bronco Model? Where and what model battery?
Crossy Posted September 11, 2024 Posted September 11, 2024 Do you still have the old battery? HomeDepot in the US (you'll need your VPN to access) has this info. Time to start trolling through all the battery offerings on Lazada etc. to find something of similar dimensions. I'd start in motorcycle batteries. "I don't want to know why you can't.

jvs Posted September 11, 2024 Posted September 11, 2024 There is a company that sells Troy built machines here in Thailand,they should have it? There are probably other local batteries that will fit also?
livram Posted September 11, 2024 Author Posted September 11, 2024 The problem is unlike a car or tractor battery the TroyBilt battery fits into a hole under the seat so must be of proper dimensions.

However it is almost certainly a standard size one so probably not so difficult to get.

Crossy posted the dimensions but so far I have not spotted any of this size on Lazada or Shopee.
Yellowtail Posted September 12, 2024 Posted September 12, 2024 Try: Group U1 battery in the search. I would take the battery to Thaiwatsadu and see what they have. LONG แบตเตอรี่ แห้ง U1-36NE ( 12V 36Ah ) แบต เครื่อง สำรอง ไฟ UPS ไฟฉุกเฉิน รถไฟฟ้า ระบบ อิเล็กทรอนิกส์ | Shopee Thailand

brianthainess Posted September 12, 2024 Posted September 12, 2024 Take the old one to any GS battery shop.

Size is the same, only difference 20Amp instead of 7Amp.

Make sure the terminals are correct. I think the Group U1r has the terminals reversed if that's what you need.
livram Posted September 13, 2024 Author Posted September 13, 2024 First I want to thank all of you for taking the time and trying to help. The big store in Buriram That sold the mower to me and assured me that there would be no problem for future parts has been unhelpfiul to say the least. Tomorrow my daughter will take me and the battery to Korat to make the rounds of the boxstores. I was hoping that existing owners of the mower would post where they were able buy replacement battery but maybe I am in the wrong forum to find owners? Thanks again and best wishes. Will advise how my road trip works out.
