An overnight battery charge and viola!--rapid starting. What I've read in this forum about poor alternator performance seems to be my problem. If I start and stop a lot, without a lot of running time, it will significantly draw down the battery. I've considered adding an auxiliary alternator to my Mule, but would likely do my own setup considering the Kawasaki alternator setup costs almost $1000.

I think you are right. I charged mine and it started great. I think I did not notice in the past because the battery died when we where on a trip and I put in a Lawnmower battery that had more cranking amps. I then replaced it with the battery that belongs and I started having the slow starting.
I think I am going to install a trickle charging kit.
Thanks,
