Help & Advice for Ride-on Car Battery Issues

“My Battery doesn’t seem to be charging correctly – read our Help & Advice for Ride-on Car Battery Issues blog post”

Ok, so you seem to be having an issue with your electric ride on toy and you think it may be the battery?

Well, firstly you need to be sure that it is the battery and not the battery charger. Try and see if the charger is warming up when ‘on’ charge. If it is, then its ok and it may well be that your battery needs replacing – do remember to check for ‘loose connections’ as ‘loose connections’ will mean that the battery is not receiving all the charge it needs to retain power.

Ok – so you’ve done that, what next?

Your battery may be flat if the item has not been used or charged regularly over the last few months. You may want to invest in a multimeter to check if the battery is giving any ampage out? If its not then you need to buy a new battery.

  • All ‘consumables’ such a batteries, chargers and remotes come with a 30 day guarantee as these need to be looked after and used correctly in order to ensure they work correctly. These are matters beyond our control and as such only offer 30 days cover for these items. As long as you look after your consumable items there will be many of hours of fun without the need to replace.
  • We recommend that ride on cars should only be used on smooth, flat surfaces and are kept out of wet and extremely cold conditions. If used in these circumstances the health of the battery and motors could be affected.
  • If you haven’t used your ride on car for a few months it is most likely that your battery has gone flat after such little use. It is important they these are charged up regularly to ensure optimum performance much like regular car batteries.
  • Your instruction manual should contain a suitable charging schedule. If not your car should be charged at least two times a month when not in use to keep the battery in health.
