  • Safely replace the 12v battery on a toy electric jeep / car with one that is far cheaper and that will have a longer run time also why you should avoid using higher voltage upgrades like 18v, 24v and 48v batteries.

    Many of the more well known drill batteries have aftermarket alternatives, that are up to 9 amp hours, while still being cheaper than a stock replacement. If you use a voltage regulator & step it down to the original voltage, you should be able to safely get much longer run time. Many I know have pretty bad performance with their ride ons, because they leave them plugged in almost all the time, but they still have short runtime. Drill batteries can be charged with their own charger, without needing to be inside the vehicle. They don't have to remain in extreme outside temperatures. Drill batteries have a reduced risk of being overcharged, because the charger typically shuts itself off. Also, you can often fit two in parallel, so you can swap one out to charge, while still using the other one. Also, drill batteries are typically much lighter.

    Question:
    1. Any tips on how to care for my 12v battery?
    2. Like, how long should I charge it? Will I damage it if I charge too long?
    3. How high should the voltage get on it?
    4. Power Wheels says to charge them at least once a month, is that what I should do for all SLA batteries?
    5. When I use it, should I wait to charge until it's completely dead, or can I charge any time?
    6. Will I damage the battery if I leave it hooked-up in the powerwheel all the time for months (like I currently do)?
    THANKS!

    One question please, I have bought a car for my son and I changed the motors, I put in higher revs. my problem is that it works for 15 seconds and then it turns off by itself and turns on after 5 seconds. this happens constantly. it had a 12v battery 4.5Ah and I put a new 12v 9Ah one but it still does the same thing. Do you know what the problem is? Can you help me?

    Since the battery that you recommend is an AGM type would you not need a charger that is for AGM type battery?

      @h8GW āļ›āļĩāļ—āļĩāđˆāđāļĨāđ‰āļ§

      I'd try a 12v pulse charger with repair function to try to save the old batteries first, since they're $30 or less off Amazon.

      Around 25% more drive time compared to the original battery which was 9.5Ah and the new one is 12Ah.

    • @brieftodo
      @brieftodo  4 āļ›āļĩāļ—āļĩāđˆāđāļĨāđ‰āļ§

      In theory a 12Ah battery will give you roughly 20-25% more life over a 9.5Ah battery and there are 12v batteries with even more Ah to give even more life before recharging but you need to check that they will physically fit in the battery bay before buying one.
