Battery Charging

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 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
®
Super 6
™
volt charger with
an A-style connector (120 VAC, 60 Hz, 15W with an
output of 6 VDC, 7.2W) to charge your Power Wheels
®
6 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.
About Thermal Fuses
Yo ur Power Wheels 6 volt battery with A-style connector
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”, it will automatically reset itself after
approximately 25 seconds and allow the vehicle to resume
normal operations. To avoid repeated automatic shut-
downs, do not overload the vehicle by exceeding the
65 lbs (29.5 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 speeds
or direction.
If a thermal fuse in a battery continually trips under
normal driving conditions, please contact your local
