My son recently received a Power Wheels jeep that had been in use for over 3 years before he got it. The batteries had not been charged as specified in the instructions, and they died shortly after he started using it. The jeep couldn't run on concrete, much less on grass.I replaced both existing batteries with these, which incidentally are a different colour from the picture, and the jeep now runs fine on most surfaces.It requires 18 hours charging time before you can use the batteries, so be prepared for some impatience before the vehicle can actually be used. You have to charge them after each use, and also once a month if the vehicle is not in use, at 16 hours each time.Tech support from Fisher Price is non-existent in my part of the world, where 800 numbers are not accessible, because their site doesn't have a customer service or tech support e-mail address listed. I needed important information, because I learned that the model I have was recalled for electrical problems, and I wanted to see exactly which parts needed to be fixed to solve the problem.I'm sure that these batteries will last a long time with proper care, but wish the tech support was better Power Wheels 6-Volt Rechargeable Battery

After many failed attempts to find the right charger for the lil' quad, I finally came across a website to get the right one. Go to 1-800-sunbeam.com. It is the type A for the toddler series. Hope this helps some of you.
I bought this battery to have on hand for when my daughter ran the other one that came with her barbie jazzy jeep out. It's working out really well and it's sure nice not hearing her nagging about her battery dying and not wanting to wait for it to recharge.
Let me first state, the picture for this product is the newer fixed battery, which was replaced for certain power wheels based on a lawsuit in which a child was severely burned.
My warning is to make sure your old power wheels are not using the older batteries. the new battery as pictured has a thick black battery connector, the old ones where white and much smaller.
In my case, the barbie power wheels were recalled some time ago. A neighbor gave me their child's old one, whose batteries were from 1995. I took the 1995 batteries to a local authorized dealer, and he immediately said you will need to exchange the batteries and charger due to a recall.
Long story short, you are buying the newer, fixed batteries, which may not fit your old charger. If this is the case, I suggest you find an authorized dealer and have them replaced (batteries are not replaced for free)
There was ABSOLUTELY NO REASON to buy this battery other than THIS WEBSITE promoted it to be needed in the long run for this toy. The battery that was delivered WAS NOT compatible with the product we bought and the return AND delivery was and is a nightmare. When Toys R Us was contacted they admitted that you did NOT need this EXTRA battery and MANY MANY times the battery shipped is NOT compatible with the toy. (...)
If you have any power wheel and your kid(s) love it, then you know you need to keep one backup around. I certainly needed it. Nothing worse than the kids are happy playing and the car goes real slow and then dead.
Amazon's price for this battery is around $10 cheaper than retail stores locally. It's a no-brainer for me.
Nothing against Fisher Price, we have enjoyed their toys for years. I was extremely frustrated by my purchase however. We were trying to get a Power Wheels unit working again this spring after the winter. We weren't sure but felt it was the battery so we purchased a new one. As it turns out, it wasn't. The battery was brand new and Amazon said it would be too dangerous for them to allow us to return the product. SO, before you purchase from them be sure this is the issue otherwise you will be stuck with it. I'm sure it was in their fine print somewhere, but they refused to point it out to me.
It says you need to charge at least 18 hours before you can use it.
When I plugged it into charger it said like it is charged already, same effect with second battery.
Strange...
As well I cant understand why it says you need to charge before every new drive,
it should contain memory and based on its ni nature it is better to uncharge 100% before starting new charge at least 3 times. - Electric Powered Ride-ons - Gizmos And Gadgets - Battery - Fisher Price'
