Thanks a million for this! Tip In case it helps anyone. My inline fuse did not have an actual fuse in it, it was empty (maybe this is normal, no idea). I got everything hooked up and couldn't figure why I wasn't getting any power. Looked inside the rubber cap and finally noticed it was empty - replaced it with a 10 Amp fuse I had and voila, we have power.
You bet! That’s a good tip! Some come with them and some don’t I guess. Keep and eye on the 10 amp fuse if all of the sudden it stops working. I have to run 25-30 amp in mine because we are in the grass all the time since we don’t have pavement. Puts a lot of strain on the battery. Glad we could help you out! Thanks for sharing and for watching!!
Ok so looking for some help- followed instructions and worked great then about 10 minutes in won’t work anymore. Did same thing night before. What could I be missing?
@@C10TruckNerd My wife is headed over to a garage sale to pick up 2 free "identical to yours" powerwheels. Gonna give this a try. Do you have a link to a charger is there isn't one available?
@@Challenged1 Yes sir and thanks for asking! I have added the link to my description below the video if you wouldn't mind clicking on it there. I appreciate the questions and let me know if you need anything as you make your upgrades! I am excited to see how your finds turn out!!!
Awesome video ... I have my sons power wheels hooked up to my Ryobi batteries, the 18 volt upgrade is insane he has a 4 wheeler thats big enough for my wife and I to ride. The power is nice it has a boost crank on the handle bars, so you push the pedal it moves at one speed push the pedal and twist the hand throttle and it doubles the speed ... Next up im gonna try the 40 volt battery 😂 amazon sells pre made adapters for any system .. dewalt Milwaukee ryobi .. theyre pretty cheap and one of my 18 volt 6 amp hour batteries lasts long enough for the kids to drive about 4 miles and they always carry two spare batteries on their trips to 7 11 or down the neighborhood bike path... So its win win ibfigure its about 60 percent more power and well over 2 times the run time and theyre using my old batteries that are like 6 or 7 years old
That’s awesome! We hooked up my neighbors son’s jeep up to 20v Dewalts and it works pretty slick! I bet you kids love it and they don’t take up hardly any room.
@@C10TruckNerd no they don't and around here we find plenty of power wheels people chick cuz they're sick of the batteries... Kids got a fleet of them we even take power wheel rides as a family once in a while... Us adults use the john deer quad and the kids fight over who drives what .. they even one with a aux cord to run a sling system
I got a peg perego battery. I jest took it off the old one. But it has an in-line fuse on the negative post. Should I cut it off and use the one you Recommend. Or leave it and not do the one you say??
just curious if it gives the car more power? I suppose I should know the answer to that but I don't! Our old battery seems to not being putting out very much power although it keeps the car drivable.
What size do I need to get of the butt connector - aka - InstallGear 4 Gauge AWG Tinned Pure Copper Lugs Ring Terminals Connectors with Heat Shrink? 1 gauge? 4 gauge?
Great video. Any idea what I can do if I got my car on FB Marketplace without the old battery? Since I didn’t get the old battery, I don’t have a charging port I can cut off of it
Thank you Benny! No problem if you don't have the old battery. You can use these aftermarket setups. I've put link below to get you going. Good luck and let me know if you need anything else. Wire Harness Charging Port with Fuse - amzn.to/3N1jPpk 12v Battery Charger Cord - amzn.to/3FN0vWf
Sorry just noticed the link to the battery is to an mighty max 18ah battery, and in the video you demonstrate with a expert power 20ah battery. Any noticeable difference between the 2? There sure are a lot more reviews on the mighty max one. Thanks again.
@@BennyNancy-b6b I have both of them right now. I moved to the Might Max due to the Expert Power being out of stock at the time. I have been very happy with it as well. It also fits perfectly into the jeeps. I don't think you can go wrong either way. I wouldn't be surprised if its the same battery with different markings! Let me know if you have any other questions.
Hi Chad. I have a dumb question. I got the xpert battery, and it has a ring connector. How do I connect the terminal connector that you suggested to the battery? I googled how to connect a terminal butt connector to a battery terminal and am not having a ton of luck. Thanks, and thanks for the tips on this!
No dumb questions here! Can you email me a pic of your battery or the battery number so I can see it. I can send you pics of how I set mine up as well. ItsTheChad71@gmail.com
@@christinagoddard2876 Good deal! One of my batteries came with bolts and the other didn't. Darn quality control! Let me know if you need anything else!
Why did you a 30amp fuse on a 20 amp battery. What is the original fuse size? Does the fuse need to match the battery? Example, I’m buying a 12amp hr battery. The original fuse is 10amp. Do I need to upgrade to a 12 or 15 amp fuse to match the new bigger 12amp battery?
They wasn’t a fuse in the original. The initial start or movement draws more amps than constant battery draw. Ours are under a lot of strain constantly because we are on grass and rock all of the time as well. Going to a bigger fuse doesn’t really hurt anything unless you’re going to like a 50 and still popping them.
Any idea why I keep blowing the in-line 30 amp fuse? I rigged it just like you did. Runs for a while (no consistent time but greater than 15-20min) when he stops and tries to go the fuse got blown.
Yea, I think when they push it too far too long. I ordered a pack of 50 fuses for $5… drive on kids! He rides for at least 45-60 min now! I am going to put in a volt meter to see when the battery should be charged which is 10.3v under load.
Oh no, I got (50) 30 amp fuses! I think 50amp might melt some stuff. Yea we don’t have much pavement either and very few level areas, and no grass. Basically dirt and gravel roads. I put that bolt meter gauge in and it really helps show when to switch batteries.
Ours last about 3 days or approximately 4 hours in all grass driving. If we are on pavement, about 6 days (hour plus a day) or I would guess 8-10 hours. I haven't put a watch them to test though. Our power wheels battery made it maybe an hour in the grass.
I wired up two batteries like this and the initial charge worked, but they won’t seem to recharge. Even bought a new power wheels charging cord. Still won’t recharge the batteries.
Thank you for posting this video! I just did this successfully! However, the battery was different in mine, it was a small black battery.
You bet! I'm glad it worked out for you! I have noticed with different types of power wheels there are a few different battery options.
Thanks a million for this!

@@edpenkalski8937 That is awesome! I bet that is a sight to see coming down the road! Once a kid, always a kid!!
What is the ring terminal size? Thank you!!
Your link comes up with a mighty max battery it that good to?
Yes. Amazon has switched over to their name. I’ve had one of them in our for about a year now. Works great!
I got a peg perego battery. I jest took it off the old one. But it has an in-line fuse on the negative post. Should I cut it off and use the one you Recommend. Or leave it and not do the one you say??
If it has a fuse already, I would just switch it over to the positive wire.
just curious if it gives the car more power? I suppose I should know the answer to that but I don't! Our old battery seems to not being putting out very much power although it keeps the car drivable.
Yes it does. Amp hour usually is talking about longer run time and voltage. 9 vs 20 will be a noticeable increase.
What size do I need to get of the butt connector - aka - InstallGear 4 Gauge AWG Tinned Pure Copper Lugs Ring Terminals Connectors with Heat Shrink? 1 gauge? 4 gauge?
Do you have any videos showing how to actually assembly the battery? I am new to this and what to make sure I am doing it correctly.
I don’t. It if you email me I can send you some pics.
You got 3 of those critters? You're gonna be in trouble in about 10 years...Lol! Best of luck to you!
man i just said the same thing. i grew up with two, met the third at 17yo. im the only boy,
Thanks!
You bet!
Nice, what about replace wheels? Upgrades
I haven’t replaced any of the wheels yet. I have re-grooved them with my angle grinder when they got smooth. Worked pretty good.
Great video. Any idea what I can do if I got my car on FB Marketplace without the old battery? Since I didn’t get the old battery, I don’t have a charging port I can cut off of it

@@BennyNancy-b6b You bet! The results are so much better when the used on pavement vs off road like ours.
If there's no charging port can you charge it like a 12 volt battery?
Yes sir! I usually use a trickle charger on them if I don't add a port.
how many minutes those your battery last
On pavement about 4 hours. On our grass uphill all the time, 1-2 hours max.
@@C10TruckNerdHELP….email sent ur way this AM. Any type of info/help would be awesome
Does it make the unit faster?
I didn't compare it before I swapped it over, so it's hard to say. The run time is significantly better though!

I’m not sure. Ours will do that too if the girls run it in the grass non stop for 25-30 minutes. I think the wires are getting too hot.
