Re-Charge Interval and Time
Important!
• Damage to the battery may occur if it is allowed to drain
completely. Do not allow the battery to drain completely.
• Check the battery and charger (supply chord, connector) for
wear and damage before charging. Do not charge the battery
if damage has occurred. Only replace with a Kid Trax Toys 6V

The battery should be charged after each use, or if not used regularly,
once a month at a minimum. Charge the battery between 8 and 10
hours. Do not charge the battery for more than 20 hours. Failure to
charge the battery as directed would cause permanent damage to the
battery and void the warranty.
Battery Storage
Do not leave the battery connected in the vehicle for long period of times
while not being used. This may drain the battery completely and cause
permanent damage. Disconnect the battery connectors from the battery
when the vehicle is not going to be used for a long period of time.
It is best to leave the battery in the battery compartment when the
vehicle is being stored for long periods. Follow these guidelines if the
battery is removed:
• Store the battery where temperatures are between -10° F (-24° C
and 75° F (24° C)
• Store the battery on a wood surface. Do not place the
battery on cement oors for extended periods. This will result
in battery discharge.
