thanks Ken for the input!


I was thinking of adding the car battery to extent a bit its power to
cut through the grass. since the jeep is already electric and runs on
a 12v battery, i thought that maybe adding a car battery wouldnt be a
big deal. the current battery is sealed and located in the hood
department under a fake plastic engine.

and any
info on altering them for more power better speed or battery life etc.


also, can i in theory use a standard heavy duty 12volts battery to
power this kids toy?

Hi Rutman...

12 volts dc is 12 volts dc is.... so the *theoretical*
answer is yes.

Having said that, I hope you don't even consider it. Not for
a second!

Incredible current - and kids with metal toys, bracelets,
watch bands perhaps, rings perhaps, tinfoil, along with
insatiable curiousity adds up to bad bad problems.

And if that's not enough - acid, great weight, lead posts...

Don't do it - kids are worth waaaaay too much
