Avoid this headache!!!I bought this to charge and recharge my kids power wheels battery. I used it 1 time, got the full charge. I then bought a second battery so the kids can run the car for longer periods, and the charger failed immediately. Called Shumacher support number, and they were perplexed by how the charger was acting, instructed me to go ahead and plug it back in and let it set until it started charging. It never got there, the red L E D power light just flashed slowly, never reset, or charged another battery. I have since requested a return number, and am awaiting instructions to get this pos fixed. it should work more than 1 time.......
Buy Schumacher CR-1 Charge 'n Ride 3 Amp 6/12 Volt Universal Battery Charger for Ride-On Toys Now
I bought this charger because I have a Power Wheels 12v Mustang and a Peg Perego 12v John Deere XUV 550. The adaptors are easy to switch and it works great. The only thing that's a little annoying is the high pitch whistle the charger makes when charging. Other than that its a great product.I found about this product after contacting Schumacher's customer support about the correct setting to use in one of their bigger chargers (which I've been using for a couple of years with great results!), when charging a small battery for a Power Wheels. The customer support rep suggested looking into this particular model because it has been designed exactly for that purpose, and I am happy to admit that she was 100% right! The different connectors, the plug-in-and-forget operation, etc., make it the best charger you can get for small batteries. I can charge Power Wheels and Peg Perego batteries just by switching the end connectors, and they both last a loooooooooong time after being charged. I expect that this charger will also help extend battery life, since it's supposed to charge them the right way and avoid overcharging.I bought this after borrowing my father's same charger for about 4 months. Charges the 12 volt batter for our riding toy. Display indicates when 80% charged and 100% charged. Cords on both ends are pretty good length, making it convenient to leave on the work bench in the garage and stretch down to the battery for charging. I've had other cheaper chargers that haven't held up or don't even seem to work from the get go. This one seems built to last.
