• Plug the charger into a standard 120 volt wall outlet.
Note: If power flow to the wall outlet is controlled by a
switch, make sure the switch is “ON”.
• Before first time use, charge the battery for at least 18
hours. Never charge the battery longer than 30 hours.
Note: The battery must be upright while charging.
• Recharge the battery after each use of your vehicle for at
least 14 hours. Do not charge the battery longer than
30 hours.
• Once the battery is charged, disconnect the charger
connector from the battery connector. Unplug the charger
from the wall outlet. The battery is now ready to be
installed in your vehicle. Please see the Battery
Installation section on page 16 for detailed instructions on
installing your battery. If your battery is already installed
in your vehicle, simply re-connect the battery connector
and motor harness connector and re-assemble the hood
of the vehicle. Always remember to lock the hood with
the lock fasteners to prevent children from accessing
the battery.
• If you are charging the battery for the first time, insert a
thermal fuse into the battery. The battery will not charge
unless a thermal fuse in good condition is installed.
• If you are recharging your battery, make sure the thermal
fuse already installed in the battery is in good condition.
Remove the fuse from the battery and shake it gently. If it
rattles, it has blown. Replace a blown fuse with a new
Power Wheels®thermal fuse.
