Finally finally added the jeep battery to powerwheels, the heavy battery weights the front down making it hard to turn, or my kids are weak. Also NEGITIVE camber.

Something wrong with the standard Power Wheels battery?

You need to more evenly disribute the weight.

Add another to the rear and you should be all set

Or just move the battery from the front to the back.

How many amp hours? You can get big lipos that weigh half what that does by capacity....

Okay. Thats overkill. What about two smaller deep cycle marine batteries? Put one in each end.

Yes. Something like what he linked will work great, get two and the thing will go faster too.

Cheap and will last just fine, the guys at my work use similar for their kids’ stuff.

Just get a 6 volt motorcycle battery from NAPA. Its all a powerwheels battery actually is. Like $25-30.

ML Toys sells a 12V battery with higher capacity than the original Power Wheels one for $50 that fits without hacking things apart.
