my son had same problem had eeverything tested and checked then discovered when he got in car at night the glove box light was killing battery. good luck.
did you see the smoke before or after you jumpstarted the car? if it was before the cables were hooked up incorrectly and with the switched polarity it can not only kill your battery but also computer components. if the smoke was after the jump start, depending on the car jumped, their alternator could have sent too much amperage to your battery causing an overcharge and you will need to replace it. A battery can turn lights and the radio on with low voltage but it takes at least 12.6 to turn your starter and start the car.
You will burn out your alternator if you keep on doing this.The alternator is not a charger. If you have a dead battery you should always charge it overnight on a charger.To keep the battery fresh all that you have to do is disconnect the terminals.Yes this is normal because the car has clocks and alarms that drain power even when the key is off. If you let the battery set to long while it is drained it will not take a charge.
you may hav a bad alt. problem with the mower dying when you engage the pto is most likley a bad sensor or wire unplugged on the seat sensor.the way it works is if the blades are turning and it dosent sense you being on the seat the mower shuts down.this has been standard on mowers for quite a few years now. it keeps the blades from cutting you up if you fall off the seat while mowing. as for charging i would try cleaning the battery connections and get the battery checked first.
Try jumpstarting from another car. You probably did not get the battery fully charged before you tried it. Also, check to see if the cables are connected tightly and if they are corroded, clean them before doing anything else. When you jump start, make sure the cables go on the correct terminals at both ends. Make the last connection to the ground on the bug (- wire)
