- How to use the existing Power Wheels connector to wire up your own cheaper, and longer lasting battery. Links to all materials used in the description below.
You ABSOLUTELY need the 30A fuse. I tried the 20A and it blew in a few min. The link below is to the version with a 30A fused included.

This isn't fixing the battery, this is replacing it.
i know right lol
Just found your channel. You sir are a genius. Saved me £95. Thanks a million.
That thing in the top corner is a 30 amp auto-resetting breaker. You can use a Bussman CBB-30 instead of the 20 amp fuse you installed
Exactly what kind of video I was looking for. Thanks a milliom
That thing in the back is the intetnal self-resetting fuse.
Great video. We have an issue with our battery. I am going to do this tonight.
Should read," How to HACK the top off" The battery
Ha ha
for show
Did you notice any extra power or did the power wheels run longer?
Nice work 👍 thank you
How has this held up? Is that $26 Amazon Battery still kicking?
This spring one of the batteries wouldnt hold a charge. So that's about 2 years.
I dont treat them very well... leave them in the garage over the winter and whatnot.
Hello so I have a power wheels quad I bought my granddaughter the battery charges but when she pushes gas pedal it doesn't move. I read somewhere how to restart it taking the negative wire of battery but this one has some kinda glue substance that doesn't let me pull it out. Can u tell me how I can remove this please
I had an old dead battery in one. It would charge, but had no power. It would drop to zero when the pedal was pushed. New battery was the solution. You can test your 12v battery with a automotive light bulb, if you want to be sure. The baterry shouldnt drop more than a volt when the bulb is connected and the bulb should be full brightness.
Misleading title
That set up will pulg
right into a 18v Milwaukee battery
And it will increase the speed. Weeeeeeee
I admire your work man! However, I think ill just buy a new battery and save the time lol
There like 65$
Better battery, cheaper, and plug and play:

Thanks for the video! Where can I find a standalone connector block for this if I don't have a battery to rip it out of? ? you mentioned a link for all the parts but I don;t see a link for that piece.
Hi CR. Try this link: www.mltoys.com/product-p/12v-female-connector.htm
That thing in back is thermal cut off switch
Did the 30A hold up? Mine is blowing 30A fuses
Is this AGM battery or wet cell/gel cell battery?
Your ads is misleading ! I came here to watch you fix a dead power wheel battery ! Instead , you hack swap power cable from original battery for the new battery . Your ads should have been power wheel cable hack from original battery to New battery .
Thats a good point. I did put the (hack) in there, and this does allow you to buy the MUCH cheaper battery.
Hack up your dead battery you mean. And you didn’t even show it working so it was altogether pointless
I hope this is not a dumb question but I see the in-line fuse but what is the black wire called? I plan to get the stuff from auto zone tomorrow. My battery doesn't have the clips on the end but nuts and bolts.
I dont have an amazon account so I wont be ordering the kit from amazon and i dont have those connectors at the ens
You may want to show ppl that it works like hook it up ppl just have To believe That what you're telling them is true and will work you want the proof to be in the pudding
It does work I've done it
What all do I need to do this? I didn’t see any links
Will it work on a 24v ?
Thermal breaker is in the battery and that why the battery are junk
What could happen if I don't put any fusible?
Worst case scenario? The battery explodes.
@@willworkforliberty alright... I will put a fusible. Thanks for the advice!
You will destroy that battery too. Power Wheels lack a battery management system, allowing the sealed lead acid battery to discharge below recommended levels.
A low voltage cutoff circuit is cherry pie simple to solder together then cut it with a relay when it's below safe levels.
Can you use the original powerwheels charger to charge the new battery
I have. YMMV.
Trying to do something like this with a free power wheel given to us for my son. Ours is a 6volt model. Do you need the inline fuse?
Do you ever NEED a fuse? :)
I'd recommend it. You don't want the battery exploding or something.
What I recommend is a 12-volt battery for the 6-volt model!
Did the Power Wheels charger work with the new battery?
Yup. I've used both the original power wheels charger and one linked above with no issues.
willworkforliberty Thanks
You didnt fix anything. You changed the battery.
Mike and Sara Ballard fixed the dead battery issue
Thought this was to fix the old battery???
Sorry. When the battery won't hold a charge anymore theres not much you can do. I hope this video shows you how you can use a much cheaper battery instead of being forced to buy one of the overpriced power wheels replacements.
What is the charge time for the new battery?
I haven't really timed it because my charger shuts off automatically.
It probably also depends on the charger a bit.
@@willworkforlibertyWhat charger are you using?
@@willworkforliberty Thank you for committing back BTW
@@92AcuraGSR1 I always put all the link to my materials in the description. Here is the one for the charger that I use. It is good for this task, but don't try to jumpstart your car with it :)

This amazon basics one is a bit cheaper, you might want to try it out as well: amzn.to/38Vx3hL
how to...... REPLACE..... your battery.
How to fix car...buys new car😒
Are those batteries waterproof? 🤔
Knight Wind yes
Well not completely but you can run the Car on water and nothing will happen
Hook up a 12 volt Power tool battery .
I tried this years ago did not work at all.
What didn't work? Did your new battery have a charge?
Maybe edit to let us know if it worked? Without that, this is useless
Should be titled " How to reuse connector from old battery". Stop wasting others' time.
Dude is too proud
This was painful to watch. It should have been like a 1- 2 min tops video. You should also have waited 1/2 a day to see if it actually works, and showed it working.
its been 3 years... still works! :)
GREAT VIDEO, THANKS. I HOPE YOU WILL ANSWER MY QUESTION. MANY OTHERS WONT ANSWER. I PAID OVER $4,000.00 FOR A POWER WHEELCHAIR OVER 3 1/2 YEARS AGO. IT DIDNT EVEN LAST 3 YEARS, TOTAL SYSTEM FAILURE, EVEN THE CHARGER THAT I EXPECT CAUSED THE PROBLEMS. I SALVAGED AS MUCH AS I COULD. AIRCRAFT ALUMINUM CHAIR, TWO 24 VOLT LITHIUM BATTERIES, ETC. WHAT I HAVE STARTED DOING IS, REDESIGNING THE ALUMINUM FRAME AND INSTALLING A BICYCLE FRONT END, NO MORE JOYSTICKS FOR ME. 6 FACEPLANTS WITH THE SMALL SWIVEL WHEELS UP FRONT. I WILL BE CUSTOMIZING THE WHOLE THING AFTER MY 2ND. ELECTRIC WHEELCHAIR. CHAIN DRIVEN, 2,000 WATT BRUSHLESS MOTOR, DISC BRAKES, ETC. SO, MY PROBLEM IS THE TWO LITHIUM BATTERIES, BOTH 24 VOLTS. THESE ARE VERY EXPENSIVE BATTERIES, $550.00 EACH AND I KNOW THE BMS WILL ALLOW ME TO CHARGE EACH ONE FROM 12 VOLTS THEY ARE BOTH SITTING AT RIGHT NOW, BACK TO 24 VOLTS, PLEASE HELP ME. THANKS
Fixing old dead battery by using new battery go figure
fuse capacity?
30A. Links in the description.
