best practices for battery maintenance on lawn mower?

Well I installed the new solenoid today. Nothing. No click or starter activity. So possibly the problem is...The ignition ? Or a safety interlock? What test points can I probe with my multimeter to narrow this down?

Use a test light or 12 v meter and see where the power stops test everywhere you can. There may be a safety switch under the seat. Start at the battery and see if it has like 12.6 and follow the hot wire from there till you lose it.
