The battery is charged and the mower will not start unless it is jumped.

SOURCE: mower won't start

im sure the switch is bad, trying to jump is a good way to find out if the starter is bad but of course wont start cause of no spark, alot of these have electronic magnetos

SOURCE: I have an RZT50 Cub Cadet Mower that only starts with jump

it sounds like the starter motor is pulling to many amps for the battery to cope with. if its a 12v system it should not pull the battery down to less than 8.5 volts on cranking if it does the starter-motor is defective you can check this with a volt meeter across the battery terminals and see what it read as you crank the engine. hope this helps

Hi..my name is Keith..you can take the battery to like an AutoZone or AdvanceAuto..and they will test the battery for free..it sounds like it has a bad cell in it..also i would look at the battery cable connections to see if they are corroded and make sure the ground wire has a clean connection to the frame..if this didnt help..please write me back

HAVE YOU CHECKED THE CHARGING SYSTEM? YOU COULD HAVE A BAD VOLTAGE REGULATOR. ITS REAL SIMPLE TO DO.START THE MOWER,PUT IT AT FULL THROTTLE.TURN A MULTI-METER TO VOLTS AND TOUCH THE BATTERY.YOU SHOULD READ 13.5-14.6 VOLTS.IF NOT GOOD CHANCE THE VOLTAGE REGULATOR IS NO GOOD.

The battery will need to be replaced.
