Little Powerhouse
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

For Power Wheels toys that have two 6V batteries
Having to charge batteries for a toy for 14-18 hours isn't much fun, especially when the batteries run down so quickly. The Power Wheels vehicles however, are a lot of fun, so that makes up somewhat in the "fun" category.

Getting the correct charger was very educational for me, after buying the recommended 6 volt battery charger, and then discovering that it only charges one battery at a time. (Amazon processed the return promptly and efficiently)

For Power Wheels vehicles that use two 6 volt batteries, this is the correct charger, because it charges both batteries at the same time.

I'm not too sure about the durability, because the original charger malfunctioned after 3 years, and I don't know the average life cycle of a charger to compare.

In summary, the car is working, the child is happy - case closed.

Wrong Charger
I thought that I was ordering the proper charger for the 12 volt Peg Perego 12 Volt battery because it was listed as an item bought by people who have bought that battery.It's being returned. ... Read more

Editorial Review

This replacement charger for the 6-volt batteries that runPower Wheels toys (the Barbie Splash Jeep, for one) is a standard2.25-by-2-by-1.5-inch black box that fits directly into a wall socket andhas a 6-foot cord. Recommendations for use of the charger: use for an18-hour charge before the first use, after each vehicle use, for 18hours before storing the vehicle, and after 30 days even if the vehicleis not used. Never use the charger for longer than 30 hours.--Richard Farr ... Read more

Beware - you may need a 12V System Battery Charger
The review by Amanda Richards prevented me from purchasing the wrong charger. I was about to place my order when I read it. I did need the 12V System Battery Charger which charges two 6V Rechargeable Batteries at the same time, not the Super 6V Battery Charger which only charges one battery at a time.

It is unfortunate that the site does not show all options for Battery Chargers for this product. This would allow the consumer to do their homework prior to placing their order and a happy consumer is typically a returning consumer.

Move cautiously before ordering. Thank you Amanda for your insight.

Wrong Connector
We mispalced the charger for my son's Lil Quad and bought this Fisher Price replacement charger. The package says it is for their 6-volt batteries. We brought it home and it had the wrong connecting end on it. It came with a adapter but it was still the wrong end. Luckily we found the old connector and returned the new one.

Beware of Incomplete Description
It's hard to rate an accessory like a battery charger under the categories "fun", "educational value" and "durability". After all, how much fun can a battery charger possibly be?
My first charger went bust after a few years (with infrequent use), so durability is not at the highest level.

Caution - The description on this item is incomplete, and not as informative as it should be.

The Power Wheels Jeep requires two 6V batteries, and comes with a charger that charges both batteries at the same time. The Super 6-Volt battery charger is described as a "replacement charger for the 6-volt batteries that run Power Wheels toys", and is listed by Amazon as an accessory to the 6V Power Wheels battery.

Please be warned that this charger only charges ONE battery, a significant little fact that is not mentioned until you get the item, where the box clearly states " For 6-Volt or Super 6-Volt system with one battery." For non-technical people like myself, the inclusion of that wording in the description would have saved me a lot of time and energy, and I would have bought the correct charger in the first place.

The correct battery charger for Power Wheels vehicles with two 6V batteries is the 12V System charger, which can also be found at Amazon for the same price.
(Note: you need the 12V SYSTEM charger and not the 12V charger, which is for the 12V batteries.)

Don't be misled like I was, and get it right the first time. ... Read more

Don't buy this battery...
My son has the John Deere Power Pull Tractor which uses this battery. Due to the numerous complaints about the battery, and because the battery that came with the tractor only lasts about 30 minutes before needing a recharge, I decided to take a different route.

I bought a 12 volt battery intended for lawn tractors/snow mobiles/etc. It will cost a heck of a lot less than Peg Perego's battery.

I then spliced the wires from the tractor, the red one is positive, obviously, and connected them to the battery. I then used a piece of wire to hold the new battery down. It works perfectly and literally runs an entire day before needing a recharge. And of course I use a car battery charger to charge it.

So, you'll save money and you kids will get MUCH more enjoyment!

Very Disappointed!
We have two of the Peg Perego vehicles - the Jeep Gaucho Grande and a John Deere Gator. The original batteries seemed to do okay and lasted about a year and a half (including the months of Nov-Feb when the toys weren't being used). I ordered two new batteries last year and they no longer work. I am extremely dissapointed (...) and my kids are mad that they can't ride the toys any more. It makes me sick!

I SEE OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME TROUBLE!
We bought our's and the battery lasted maybe 1 day!!! It has been sitting in our storage shed for a year now... I was going to buy another battery, but half scared to. I didn't know there was a recall....

I would rather buy a different brand!

Defective Battery
This product needs to be taken off the market. I see in the reviews other disatisfaction with it. It failed when used, which use was 30 days after delivery and Amazon.com does not have a method to return or replace with a better product. The battery that came with the toy is doing well, but please don't take Amazon's recommendation to use this as an alternate. This is the first and only time in 5 yrs. that Amazon has failed me.

Peg Perego 12 Volt rechargeable Battery
This battery stinks. We bought the John Deere Gator last year and the battery worked perfect. Less than a year later, the battery goes dead after 20 minutes and does not have the POWER (2 kids cannot ride on it now, because the battery is not powerful enough) it had when it was new. I've had power wheel batteries previously, and they lasted ALOT longer and with better charge quality than this battery. I hate the idea of shelling out another [$] for this battery!!!!!!! ...
