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.
• You do not need to remove the battery from your
vehicle to recharge it.
• The battery must be upright while charging.
• The charger is not a toy.
• Do not short circuit the battery.
• 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 kitchen
counter tops) 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 type
“12V” connector (120 VAC 60 Hz 28W with an output
of 12 VDC 1200mA) to charge your Power Wheels
®
rechargeable 12 volt battery.
• 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.
