ive had my machine for almost 3 years now and it has run well every year until i had to put it aside for a while now i have two main problems:

- The battery wont hold a charge (this is an old problem) i will take it out for a couple hours and have to pack up earrly because the battery will die and i have to charge it again before i take it out (i believe the alternator was fine but i will check and update tomorrow if not) any suggestions on why? and how to fix?

- This one is straight forward a mouse chewed through my battery cable should i get a new cable and install it or is there another cheaper more time efficient solution (long term and temporary as long as i can get it running i can get it in my truck and to someoen with more experience)
