How to use the existing Power Wheels connector to wire up your own cheaper, and longer lasting battery. Links to all materials used in the description below.

Official Power Wheels 12V replacement battery (for comparison only): amzn.to/2OHx4ut

This isn't fixing the battery, this is replacing it.

i know right lol

That thing in the top corner is a 30 amp auto-resetting breaker. You can use a Bussman CBB-30 instead of the 20 amp fuse you installed

Hello so I have a power wheels quad I bought my granddaughter the battery charges but when she pushes gas pedal it doesn't move. I read somewhere how to restart it taking the negative wire of battery but this one has some kinda glue substance that doesn't let me pull it out. Can u tell me how I can remove this please

@dearboy05 4 года назад

I had an old dead battery in one. It would charge, but had no power. It would drop to zero when the pedal was pushed. New battery was the solution. You can test your 12v battery with a automotive light bulb, if you want to be sure. The baterry shouldnt drop more than a volt when the bulb is connected and the bulb should be full brightness.

@jamesdavies686 4 года назад

How has this held up? Is that $26 Amazon Battery still kicking?

@willworkforliberty 4 года назад

This spring one of the batteries wouldnt hold a charge. So that's about 2 years. I dont treat them very well... leave them in the garage over the winter and whatnot.

@joewellindowd5664 5 лет назад

Did you notice any extra power or did the power wheels run longer?

@mikeoxier2733 3 года назад

I hope this is not a dumb question but I see the in-line fuse but what is the black wire called? I plan to get the stuff from auto zone tomorrow. My battery doesn't have the clips on the end but nuts and bolts.

Your ads is misleading ! I came here to watch you fix a dead power wheel battery ! Instead , you hack swap power cable from original battery for the new battery . Your ads should have been power wheel cable hack from original battery to New battery .

@willworkforliberty 4 года назад

Thats a good point. I did put the (hack) in there, and this does allow you to buy the MUCH cheaper battery.

Hack up your dead battery you mean. And you didn’t even show it working so it was altogether pointless

Trying to do something like this with a free power wheel given to us for my son. Ours is a 6volt model. Do you need the inline fuse?

@willworkforliberty 5 лет назад

Do you ever NEED a fuse? :) I'd recommend it. You don't want the battery exploding or something.

@oodoodoopoopoo 4 года назад

What I recommend is a 12-volt battery for the 6-volt model!

What is the charge time for the new battery?

@willworkforliberty 4 года назад

I haven't really timed it because my charger shuts off automatically. It probably also depends on the charger a bit.

@CincyPlasmaTech 5 лет назад

You will destroy that battery too. Power Wheels lack a battery management system, allowing the sealed lead acid battery to discharge below recommended levels.

A low voltage cutoff circuit is cherry pie simple to solder together then cut it with a relay when it's below safe levels.

Sorry. When the battery won't hold a charge anymore theres not much you can do. I hope this video shows you how you can use a much cheaper battery instead of being forced to buy one of the overpriced power wheels replacements.

GREAT VIDEO, THANKS. I HOPE YOU WILL ANSWER MY QUESTION. MANY OTHERS WONT ANSWER. I PAID OVER $4,000.00 FOR A POWER WHEELCHAIR OVER 3 1/2 YEARS AGO. IT DIDNT EVEN LAST 3 YEARS, TOTAL SYSTEM FAILURE, EVEN THE CHARGER THAT I EXPECT CAUSED THE PROBLEMS. I SALVAGED AS MUCH AS I COULD. AIRCRAFT ALUMINUM CHAIR, TWO 24 VOLT LITHIUM BATTERIES, ETC. WHAT I HAVE STARTED DOING IS, REDESIGNING THE ALUMINUM FRAME AND INSTALLING A BICYCLE FRONT END, NO MORE JOYSTICKS FOR ME. 6 FACEPLANTS WITH THE SMALL SWIVEL WHEELS UP FRONT. I WILL BE CUSTOMIZING THE WHOLE THING AFTER MY 2ND. ELECTRIC WHEELCHAIR. CHAIN DRIVEN, 2,000 WATT BRUSHLESS MOTOR, DISC BRAKES, ETC. SO, MY PROBLEM IS THE TWO LITHIUM BATTERIES, BOTH 24 VOLTS. THESE ARE VERY EXPENSIVE BATTERIES, $550.00 EACH AND I KNOW THE BMS WILL ALLOW ME TO CHARGE EACH ONE FROM 12 VOLTS THEY ARE BOTH SITTING AT RIGHT NOW, BACK TO 24 VOLTS, PLEASE HELP ME. THANKS
