John Deere Lawn Mower Battery
From the D100 lawn tractors to the X700s and the Z-Trak zero turns, John Deere lists one battery for its riding mowers: a 12-volt Group U1, part TY25221B. A lithium John Deere lawn mower battery drops into the same tray and bolts to the same cables, holds its charge through a winter in the shed, and weighs half as much as the 19-pound lead-acid original, or less.

John Deere Battery Size Chart
John Deere’s parts catalog lists the same battery for every tractor below: part TY25221B, a 12-volt Group U1 rated 30Ah and 350 cold cranking amps, about 7.8 x 5.2 x 7.3 inches. The Group U1 lithium batteries on this page drop into that tray. The Dakota 25Ah is narrower than a U1 and needs a spacer.

Two checks before you order. Terminals: face the battery with the posts nearest you; a U1 has the positive on the left, a U1R on the right, and the cables on your tractor reach one way. Charging: the tractor’s own charging system keeps a lithium John Deere lawn tractor battery topped up while you mow, and for winter storage any charger with a lithium mode will do, like the 12V lawn mower battery charger we carry. This page covers riding mowers and lawn tractors; John Deere’s compact utility tractors, the 1025R and up, take a larger battery.
John Deere Lawn Mower Battery FAQ
What battery does a John Deere D105 take?+-
A 12-volt Group U1. John Deere lists part TY25221B (30Ah, 350 CCA) for the D105 and the rest of the D100 series, including the D110, D130 and D140, so a Group U1 lithium battery drops into the same tray. Match the terminal layout (U1 or U1R) on your old battery.
What size battery does a John Deere riding mower take?+-
A Group U1, across the line. The D100, E100, S100, X300, X500 and X700 series and the Z-Trak zero turns all list the same TY25221B, a U1 case about 7.8 x 5.2 x 7.3 inches, and the older L, LA, LT, GT and STX tractors on the chart above take it too.
Is there a lithium battery for a John Deere zero turn mower?+-
Yes. The Z-Trak zero turns, from the Z235 to the Z970R, list the same Group U1 as the lawn tractors, so the Group U1 lithium batteries on this page fit. Call 888-274-7544 with the model number if you want us to check.
What charger should I use on a lithium John Deere battery?+-
Any 12V charger with a lithium (LiFePO4) mode. The tractor keeps the battery topped up while you mow; for storage, use a lithium maintainer like the 12V lawn mower battery charger we carry, never a lead-acid charger with a desulfation setting.
