Care
If a battery leak develops, avoid contact with the leaking
acid and place the damaged battery in a plastic bag. Please
refer to the information on this page 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.
• If the vehicle will be stored for more than two months,
be sure to disconnect the motor harness from the battery.
• Do not store the battery in temperatures above 75° F
or below -10° F.
• Use only a Power Wheels

time use.
• Prevent the battery from moving freely inside the battery
compartment. Always use the battery clamp to secure the
battery in the battery compartment.
• Examine the battery, charger and its connector for
excessive wear or damage each time you charge the
battery. If damage is detected, do not use the charger
or the battery until you have replaced the worn or
damaged part.
