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

Steam

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.

A kid pushed his toys out in front of my car, parents want me to pay for them?

Some worthless child pushed his electric toy car and big-wheel out in front of my car into the street. I hit the toys, and totally demolished them. My car was mostly fine, nothing i cant do myself with a little paint when the weather gets nice. The thing is the parents want me to pay for the toys. I refuse to pay for the toys. I work for cash so on paper I am judgement proof if they sue. I refuse to pay for these toys. THe kid should have kept them in his yard. Not to mention now I have to spend about 4 to 6 hours re-painting my bumper and replacing headlights. What should I do?
keep in mind a bigwheel is cheap ($30) but the electric car is one of those that kids sit in and drive around, and the one they had for their kids was over $300. I can't afford to pay for that since I am going to be buying a LCD TV For Christmas!

Will an estimate really stand up in court? I have always done my own car repairs. I know this would not cost more than 50 dollars to fix, is the huge estimates of a thousand dollars or more really going to stand up? Won't the judge know that auto labor places rip you off?

Answer
Go out an simply get yourself an estimate to repair the bumper of your car. This will help you document the damage that was done. If they bring it up again tell them you expect to be compensated for not properly supervising their child and want your damage covered. They were wrong for letting their little hellion putting you in danger and then blaming you for their kids toys being run over in the street?!? Tell them you would happy for them to sue you in small claims court, I'm sure the judge would not only get a laugh out of it, but would give them a tongue lashing for being irresponsible parents.
