12 volt battery options for a kids ride on toy car

[ted_kennedys_liver]

I bought my daughter one of the 12v ride on cars. I wanted to buy an extra battery for it but the prices were outrageous. I have a number of 12 volt motorcycle batteries and 12 volt feeder batteries. Have any of you tried one these batteries in one of those cars?

If you take the blue case apart you will find a 12 volt deer feeder battery. Just buy an extra harness and wire it to work with a deer feeder battery and your good to go.

There is a power wheels forum, believe it or not. There are all kinds of options. I bought a deep cycle battery (small one) that was cheaper and could stand up to the rapid drain and recharging you will need for that little buggy. As previously mentioned, you will need to make your own harness.

Alright, now what do we need to get this little Frozen mustang up to 20 mph?! Agreed that the Fisher Price batteries are junk.

For about half the price of the power wheels battery, you can buy a lawn mower battery. It will run several minutes longer than the other battery. The easiest way to connect is using alligator clips or smaller jumper cable type clamps.

I sacrificed an old power wheels battery and butt spliced my clamps to the wires.

Also, for ALOT of fun. Put 2 batteries in series. 24 volts on a power wheels will allow that thing to cut a donut. My boy was throwing up rooster tails and catching air coming out of our ditch onto the driveway.

Also. Self tapping screws randomly screwed into the rear wheels will allow for some extra traction in the yard

Is this the 6 or 12 v model?

I can't get you to 20mph, but if it's a 12v model I can get you to about 12-15mph
