Product Description
The Right Charger for the Power Wheels 6V Red Battery
This is the official Mattel replacement charger for the Power Wheels 6-volt red battery — OEM part number 00801-1779. It is compatible with the red 6V battery (part #74522) used in Power Wheels Lil' series vehicles and other 6-volt ride-ons, including the Lil' Dune Racer, Lil' Lightning McQueen, Lil' F-150, Barbie Trail Rider, and many more.
If you've lost your original charger or it has stopped working, this is the correct OEM replacement. Using a non-compatible charger on a Power Wheels battery can damage the battery, shorten its lifespan, or prevent it from charging correctly. The 00801-1779 is designed specifically for the 6-volt red battery chemistry and delivers the appropriate charge voltage and current.
Not sure if this is the right charger? If your Power Wheels battery is red, this is your charger. If your battery is gray or gray with an orange top, you need the 12V charger (00801-1778) instead. Our full range of Power Wheels batteries and chargers is available if you need a different version.
Charging Instructions
Before first use, charge a brand-new battery for a full 18 hours to ensure it reaches maximum capacity from the start. For routine recharges after normal use, charge for at least 14 hours. Never charge for more than 30 hours at a stretch, and always unplug the charger from both the battery and the wall outlet when charging is complete.
Recharge after every use — even short ones. Regularly topping up the battery rather than waiting until it's fully depleted is one of the simplest ways to extend its life. If your vehicle uses two 6V red batteries, charge each battery individually unless your charger is specifically designed for dual charging. During off-seasons or extended storage periods, charge the battery at least once a month to prevent deep discharge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Power Wheels battery does this charger work with?
This charger (00801-1779) is designed for the Power Wheels 6-volt red battery (part #74522). If your battery is red, this is your charger. It is not compatible with the gray or orange-top 12V batteries (which use charger 00801-1778) or the blue 6V battery (which uses charger 00801-1781).
My vehicle uses two 6V red batteries — do I need two chargers?
Not necessarily. Some Power Wheels chargers are designed to charge one battery at a time, in which case you would charge each battery separately. If you need to charge both batteries simultaneously, verify that your charger supports dual charging before connecting both at once. When in doubt, charge them one at a time to be safe.
Can I use a 12V Power Wheels charger on the 6V red battery?
No. The 12V charger operates at a higher voltage and is not compatible with the 6-volt red battery. Using it can permanently damage the battery. Always use the charger that matches your battery's voltage — the 00801-1779 for the red 6V battery, and the 00801-1778 for the 12V gray or orange-top batteries.
How do I know if my Power Wheels battery is charging?
When properly connected to the battery and plugged into a working wall outlet, the indicator light on the charger will illuminate to confirm charging is underway. If no light appears, check that the connector is fully seated in the battery port and that the outlet has power. If the charger still shows no activity, the battery may be deeply discharged or the charger may need replacing.
Is this a genuine Mattel charger?
Yes. This is the official OEM charger produced by Mattel for the Power Wheels 6-volt red battery — not an aftermarket alternative. Battery Mart is an authorized Power Wheels service center, so every product we carry in this category comes directly from Mattel.
