ELECTRICAL HAZARD

Important Notes

• 

Your new battery must be charged for at least 18 hours 
before you use it in your vehicle for the first time.

•  We recommend that you start charging your battery before 

beginning assembly of your new vehicle. 

•  The battery must be upright while charging.
•  The charger is not a toy.
•  Do not short circuit the battery.
•  You do not need to remove the battery from your vehicle to 

recharge it.

•  Before charging the battery, examine the battery case for cracks 

and other damage which may cause sulfuric acid (electrolyte) to 
leak during the charging process. If damage is detected, do not 
charge the battery or use it in your vehicle. Battery acid is very 
corrosive and can cause severe damage to surfaces it contacts. 

•  Do not charge the battery on a surface (such as a kitchen counter 

top) which could be damaged by the acid contained inside the 
battery. Take precautions to protect the surface on which you 
charge your battery. 

•  Use only a Power Wheels

®

 12 volt charger with "12 V" connector 

(120 VAC, 60 Hz, 28W with an output of 12 VDC, 1200 mA) 
to charge your Power Wheels

®

 12 volt battery.

Adults Note:

 Regularly examine the charger for damage to the

cord, plug, housing or other parts that may result in the risk of fire, 
electric shock or injury. In the event of any damage, do not use
the charger until the damage has been properly repaired. Please
call 

1-800-348-0751

.

•  If your battery is old and will not accept a charge, do not leave it 

in the vehicle. Always remove a dead battery from the vehicle.

About Thermal Fuses

Your Power Wheels

®

 12 volt battery is equipped with a built-in 

thermal fuse. The thermal fuse is a self-resetting safety device which 
automatically “trips” and shuts down operation of the vehicle if the 
vehicle is overloaded or the driving conditions too severe. Once 
a fuse has "tripped", remove your foot from the pedal and wait 
approximately 25 seconds before operating the vehicle again. To 
avoid repeated automatic shut-downs, do not overload the vehicle by 
exceeding the 130 lb. (59 kg) maximum weight capacity or by towing 
anything behind the vehicle. Avoid severe driving conditions, such 
as driving up slopes or running into fixed objects, which can cause 
the wheels to stop spinning while power is still being supplied to 
the motors and make sure your child stops the vehicle before 
switching direction.
If a thermal fuse in a battery continually trips under normal driving 
conditions, please contact your local Power Wheels

acid (electrolyte). Dropping the battery could 
result in serious injury.

• Never allow children to charge the battery. 

Battery charging must be done by adults 
only. A child could be injured by the elec-
tricity involved in charging the battery.

• Read the safety instructions on the battery.
• Examine the battery, charger and their 

connectors for excessive wear or damage 
each time you charge the battery. If damage 
or excessive wear is detected, do not use 
the charger or the battery until you have 
replaced the worn or damaged part.
