Not necessarily. There should be some type of light on the charger- green means charged, red or orange, not charged.

If no light comes on, it's the charger.

this is in the wrong category

Try jumpering the battery directly to the motors to see if the motors spin, if they don't then replace the motors as needed, if they do spin, then use a multimeter and check for 12 volts at the motor wires when the accelerator is pressed, if its showing no volts then work your way back to the shifter switch and check for volts, then to the foot pedal to find where the power isn't getting through then replace components as needed

not without some cutting and splicing

yep that's normal, it will turn orange when charging and might get a little hot to the touch

check it with a multimeter and make sure that its showing at least 6 volts

usually around 8 hours

orange means its charging and green means its fully charged

check your charger with a multimeter and make sure that its putting out at least 13.8 volts

yes, the ah has to do with the capacity of the batteries, so the lower the ah the shorter the runtime, and if you have 3 10ah and 1 6ah the capacity of the 10ah batteries will be downgraded to 6ah

no, way to many amps could cause an explosion

check the charger with a multimeter and make sure that its putting out around 13.8 volts

you need the thing that connects to the battery and plugs into the wall. You can get one at walmart for around $40 Peg Perego 12 Volt Quick Charger for Peg Perego John Deere Polaris and...

You can get compatible replacement batteries for your ride-on toy from here. John Deere Ground Loader Peg Perego Ride On Toy Battery 12 12 AH F2... You can just change the battery and use the plastic casing and wires attached to your current battery. This will save you a nice sum of money. It is not hard to do. Check this video to see how to do it.

You can certainly do this, the 12 ah battery will last longer.

Walmart has them> I would definately buy from them because if you get it home and then find out that you  have other problems than a new battery, you can always take it back. 

chaeck the charger with a multimeter and make sure that it is putting out at least 13.8-14.6 volts

I dealt with the same problem..... They are easy to find... but they will get you for too much money for the name brand replacement. Just goto amazon and search for the UB645 replacement battery and you will be able to get just as good of a battery (actually better) for under $12 with free shipping OR you can get two batteries shipped for $16. Nothing like having an extra battery to be safe :)Hope this helps anyone else looking!!!By the way, it looks like you can get more than you paid if you have a great working one as they are somehow being lumped in as collectables....
