Care
If a battery leak develops, avoid contact with the leaking acid
and place the damaged battery in a plastic bag. See information
below for proper disposal.
If acid comes in contact with skin or eyes, flush with cool
water for at least 15 minutes and call a physician.
If acid is internally ingested, give water, milk of magnesia
or egg whites immediately. Never give emetics or induce
vomiting. Call a physician.
• Charge a new battery for at least 18 hours before first use.
Never charge the battery longer than 30 hours. Overcharging
or undercharging the battery may shorten battery life and
decrease vehicle running time.
• After the first charge, recharge the battery for at least 14
hours after each use. Never charge the battery longer than
30 hours. Charge the battery after each use, regardless of
how long the vehicle was used.
• The battery must be upright while charging.
• Do not allow the battery to run down completely before charging.
• Charge the battery before storing the vehicle.
• Charge the battery at least once per month, even if the vehicle
has not been used.
• Leaving the battery in a discharged condition will ruin it.
• Always remove an exhausted battery from the vehicle. Battery
leakage and corrosion can damage the vehicle.
• Do not store 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 store the battery.
• Do not store the battery in temperatures above 75° F or
below -10° F.
• Use only a Power Wheels

12 volt battery. Remember to
charge the new battery for at least 18 hours before first use.
• Prevent the battery from moving freely inside the battery
compart-ment. Always use the battery retainer to secure
the battery in the battery compartment.

excessive wear or damage each time you charge the battery.

until you have replaced the worn or damaged part.
