For future reference to those many people asking, you can charge both at once on the circuit, and it must be matched to the circuit voltage, such as 12V if two 12V in parallel, or 24V if two 12V in series. Search "battery charger 24V SLA AGM" to find compatible 24V chargers. Or for a good one for AGM, search "Japlar Schauer 24v 2 Amp Automatic Smart Charger" You're looking for one that is friendly to "lead acid" types (SLA) and "absorbed glass mat" type batteries (AGM). You have to make sure that you select that type of battery on a multi-type smart charger. AGM batteries require a specific process to avoid damage and extend life of the battery. Some of these auto-detect 12 or 24V, and have multi-stage charging, along with desulfator, maintenance, and repair functions. 1A charging current is safe and adequate for a 12V 10Ah battery, 2A for 24V Some do repair and maintenance better than others. MLTOYS sells various voltage ranges with a Power Wheels style connector pre-attached in place of the stock methods. So if you mod your vehicle and use an existing female connector on your dual 12V battery setup, it will plug right in with its male connector. They cost a little more, but are still less than $45. MLTOYS is probably using the Mighty Max chargers and customizing the connector for you. Search "24 VOLT 2 AMP WHEELCHAIR BATTERY CHARGER" to find the Mighty Max charger specs, but those come with XLR connectors for wheelchair battery connectors.
Hello! it's an excellent video, I have a question. The charger is for 12V batteries, to charge the batteries is one by one or can connect the charger to charge both batteries at same time?

@@aarons72oldsmobilecutlasss22 but only one at a time? I’d prefer to not have to disconnect the wiring all the time to charge it. My plan is, I bought a 24 v charger and was gonna swap out the clamps for the male end of the original power wheels charger. That way i just disconnect the batteries from the car and plug in the charger. Just wondering if that will work.
The problem I have with this video is that you did not mention if the adapter needs to be changed. Like the adapter that some of these come with. the 12 volt adapter. you failed to mention the fuse amp. perhaps 30 amps?
Hello, how do you call the yellow battery connectors you use? Been in the shop today and couldn't find anything like that. My battery connectors are 1cm x 3mm. Hope you can help. also, some info on the fuse you use would be helpful . Thanks in advance Regards
i did the same mod...i didnt do the fuse though..it worked for a while but then one of the motors got screwed so my lazyness costed me......yes u can use the powerwheels stock charger...and yes the batteries are rechargeable..these are the ones i got on amazon www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B01DOAM4KQ/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Make sure you do the fuse!
Instead of a 30 amp fuse....use a 30 amp relay. If the fuse pops you have to push the thing, or keep fuses handy. With the relay, you will just hear the click from the protection kicking on and off during overload, but the car will not stop working.
Hi there I have one question I did that conversion on my son 12v car but I keep blowing the 30 amp in-line fuse as soon as he hits the throttle any ideas thanks
I'm hoping you can help me. I recently replaced the battery 6V in the Dora Explorer Jeep with a 12v 7AH. It seems the battery dies pretty quick but when I check the voltage it is reading approx 11.67 so it doesn't seem the battery is dead. Any reason why the power wheel is barely moving as if the battery dead?
Power Wheels Warrior thanks for the quick reply! I think you are right. I wok take a look to be honest I’m not sure what to look for. Do you have a recommendation/suggestion on a site that can help since I’m not familiar with the throttle assembly?
How do you charge the batteries? I did this and hooked it up to the stock powerwheels wall charger and it does not appear to be charging the batteries completely. After 15 minutes or so it dies.
You haven't posted any videos. Glad you're doing ok. I didn't see you use the male connector on the negative side when you switched to one battery. I don't understand why you need the male connector. Can you please explain? Thank you for making this video. Much appreciated.
I upgraded my son's Power Wheels battery from 6V to 12V via a similar setup, but the issue I am running into is the motors getting hot and blowing the in-line fuse. Any suggestions?
If u hooked them in series you would get 36V. 18V is plenty, hook them in parallel to keep 18V and double ur Amp Hours. So positive to positive for parallel.. plenty of good videos out there for the 18V conversion
I did this exact set up and it blew both of my radio/display board and my main control board. Exact setup with fuse protection and all. Not sure what happened...
Because your radio and such is designed for a 12v system. This upgrade to 24v (2 - 12v in series) is assuming the ride-on electric motors can handle 24v. If they are 12v motors, the motors will get hot and can catch fire. In addition to updating the battery. You need to check the controller and specs on the motors.
@@MJ-kr3bs www.ebay.com/i/124219140423?chn=ps&var=425071342556 Don't get these jeeps, or any that look similar. Stay with Peg Perego or Power Wheels brand. I learned my lesson buying off brand crap.
@@aarons72oldsmobilecutlasss22 I just hooked both batteries up the same way you did and I think I fried something 😳 I smelled something burning but couldn’t see anything
@@tct72 thanks. I'm not using a speed controller and having no issues with 775 motors and 12v battery but lil man leaves me in the dust while i'm on foot. An ESC would do wonders for safety.
