Can I put a 12v car battery in a kids electric jeep?

I was recently given two electric ride on toys for kids. Both a beat up pretty bad but the motors work, batteries don't. The factory batteries are expensive sooooo.... I was wondering if a car/atv/motorcycle/ battery would work? The originals were 12v. I do know there is a safety issue as far as liquid acid from gel acid but I have a container solution for that. I'm more curious about it exploding,lighting on fire or another unforeseen issue. Any thoughts before I try it? Don't answer if you are going to say " don't ever use anything but factory approved blah blah blah.." These are junk and the " you cant do that " crowd does not interest me unless it is backed up by scientific fact. Kids will not be driving these either. Any other junk yard tinkerers out there with some sage words of advice?
12v all the way, not Power Wheels plus the batteries are clearly labeled. Gotta say I love the actual experience with the John deer. Like it was brought up do u know if he had a problem with the battery lasting over multiple charges?

Answer
Yes it will work for sure. My father inlaw has a john deere toy tractor for his nieces that runs on a car battery. That thing runs for ever too instead of the 15-20 minutes the factory battery is good for. Just every once in a while you will have to hook it up to a car battery charger. They can be expensive, hope you have one. The kids will love you for it. Lol. Good luck.

Electric Shock on Car?

Grampa Han

Hi! My car was vandalized again last night by my neighbors. Although I don't have evidence but I know it's them. Just the same, they first made deep scratches on my car, then, a few weeks later, maybe kicked the plastic cover of my plate number causing it to crack big time, then just a couple of weeks ago, punched a concrete nail on the wheel, and last night, made two very deep and long scratches on my doors. Its irritating but we can't do anything as we don't have any garage in the place we're renting at. And relocating is definitely out of the question and the budget. Security alarm has already been installed but it doesn't help much. When I was a kid, I touched a jeep my uncle was repairing and got zapped a little.

Question, is there such a way to do this on my car wherein the "zapper" gets activated when I set my alarm on? If you could point me to a DIY site to do this or any suggestions to do this will be highly appreciated.
Thank you! I think installing that camera might work long term. Could you point me to a website that has it or, what do you call that kind of camera? Thanks!

Answer
You could rig up a transformer to go from120v ac to 12v dc and run wires out to your car. If properly connected, anyone that touches metal on your car gets zapped. The video camera option is better though. If the person(s) are caught, you can take them to court and force them to pay for the repairs.
