A voltage regulator’s function in a lawnmower is to convert the engine’s voltage into the correct voltage and then supply it to the battery to charge it. However, the voltage regulator may also be one of the causes of the lawn mower’s battery drainage. It may continue to draw current from the battery even after the lawnmower is shut down.

May 20, 2014 I have a JohnDeere 125 Lawn tractor and after several days the battery is too low to start the engine. If I unhook the battery it stays charged. I did the amp test between the battery ground post and the cable and it shows 0.03. I started by unhooking the regulator and the meter showed 0.00 so I got a new one and it still shows a draw on the ...

So, if the voltage regulator is bad, the battery could drain more easily, meaning that you have to jumpstart your mower every time you use it. To test a voltage regulator, you will need a multimeter and some work gloves. Simply connect the multimeter to the regulator’s output to see if there is more energy going into the battery than coming out.

Aug 07, 2016 The battery does charge and have only boosted it twice, when a battery was old/shot and needed replacing. I've replaced the voltage regulator twice; one new, one used. Neither made a difference so I just let it roll. My in-law has a JD lawn tractor (dk it's model) and has had the exact same issue for years as well.

It's usually on the right side of the engine and will have (typically) 3 wires coming from it. 2 wires will be the same color and 1 will be another color. The 2 wires of matching color are AC voltage coming into the regulator and the 1 wire coming out is DC voltage.
