Killed my battery yesterday…parked it in my garage waiting for the next phase of the big storm (got 20+ inches) over 2 days. I mistakenly left my flashers on and when I went out to the garage to plug in the pan heater and battery warmer, to see seethe 4way flashers flashing “weakly”
Crap, urned the key, nothing. Hooked her up to a charger and all is good today.
Time to replace the 12+ year original battery.
Found a “group#” 51R online…does this sound like the correct one? Kubota says “discontinued” on the parts website.

Internet including Coleman says 26R. Measure your battery and consult a group size chart.

I would not give up on your battery so quick.

Assuming you slow charged it overnight, It might be fine.
I would check the electrolyte levels and maybe test it with a load tester.

I did the same thing with my jeep battery.... friggin dog bumped his head on the interior light button and turned it on.... next morn. stone dead.

I put battery tender on it and it's been fine since. ... couple years now.
