Battery Installation
Important Note: Use only Power Wheels ® Type H batter-
ies with Power Wheels ® 30 amp fuses installed. Use of any
other batteries or fuses will damage your vehicle. Make
sure that you charge the batteries for at least 18 hours
using the enclosed Power Wheels
® 12 volt charger before
operating your vehicle for the first time. Charge
the batteries for at least 14 hours after each use of the
vehicle. Never charge the batteries longer than 30 hours.
Failure to follow these instructions may damage your
batteries and will void your warranty.
It is easier to install the batteries before assembling the
hood to your vehicle. If you have already assembled the
hood to your vehicle, you may want to remove it to install
the batteries.
