there might be , I haven't found them.
if you don't find them , store the one you do find in the house on a board , with a battery maintainer on it once a month , while you have them out of the mower or boat
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

Mower batteries? I don't think so, seems all the reviews on the ones I looked at were poor, 1 year at best usually dies right after any warranty, As for boats, I use a deep discharge starting marine battery that holds up well. I think the last one was from Walmart. They are expensive though. My boat battery is hooked up in the boat year round with a 60 hp Honda outboard, I often work through the winter with it. The big thing I found with boat batteries is they tend to boil the water out of them faster than you'd think, exposing the plates which hastens the batteries failure, I top off the cells several times a year with distilled water. Can't say for sealed batteries, I've never used them.

I just replaced the battery in my zero turn mower. It was 4 years old and had been dragging a little the last couple of years. I just bought another from Menards, $38 if I remember correctly. My flat bottom aluminum jet boat has a deep cycle cranking battery from Sam’s. I think it is Duracells if something like that. 3 years old and still strong.
I sold my bass boat last year that had blue top Optima trolling batteries that were 8 years old and would last all day on the lake.

I mostly buy Duracell batteries for all my stuff like lawn mower, ATV, boats, etc. I run battery savers on several of them. It seems to extend the life of the battery

Cold weather is hard on these batteries. Plus you don't run your mower in the wintertime like Uncle Jbyrd63.

Battery tenders help to keep them working longer

I take lawn tractor and boat battery out in the winter and put them in the cellar on a float charger. Have no problems both batteries were bought around the same time 6 or 7 years ago. These are lead acid batteries and whatever generic kind Walmart had at the time. Make sure you top off with distilled water when necessary. My snowmobile and four wheeler were the battery eaters until I changed them over to gel batteries 3 years ago. I have had no problems and leave them in the machines year round. I do make sure I start them on a regular basis if I'm not riding

The last mower battery I bought was the better one not too long ago it has a 6 month warranty on it that says a lot.
