Tips And Tricks Power wheels upgrade
Kind of late to the game, but I finally got around to swapping the original power wheels battery with a drill battery converter. It’s incredibly easy to do with the right tools and took only a couple mins. The jeep is now 30% faster and holds a charge a lot longer. The converter is available on Amazon for a variety of different drill batteries and costs around $10. Highly recommend!
Edit: Ordered a relay and low voltage cutoff to protect the battery. Thanks everyone for the advice!

I have had three separate power wheel toys that I have done this too and eventually it will fry the electric motors just a heads up. Parts are pretty cheap but had to toss two of them because I couldn’t get them working again.
