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.

Harley Davidson kids ATV battery?




rachel p


we a atv for my two old that was given to us with no battery or charger . we cant find it anywhere, we dont no what type or volt we need someone please help?


Answer
It should be 2 six volt batteries try at a golf cart shop if not you can hard wire a car 12 volt make sure it is very small voltage and amps or else you can fire the motors out it is actually cheaper to do this method because of the expense in the twin 6 volt.another benifit is you can change out and put a stronger electric motor in the future. search yahoo or google for a wiring diagram when you are ready to let your little one "fly"
