Product Description
The Right Battery for Higher-Powered Power Wheels Vehicles
The Power Wheels 12V orange-top battery is the official OEM replacement for select Advanced Series vehicles that require more power than the standard all-gray battery provides. If your child's ride-on came with an orange-top battery, this is the correct replacement — and it's important to get the match right. The orange-top and all-gray batteries are not interchangeable, even though both are 12 volts.
The quickest way to confirm you need this battery: check the plug coming from your vehicle's wiring harness. If the vehicle-side plug is orange, this is your battery. If it's black, you need the all-gray 12V battery instead. The orange-top battery also features a small notch in the corner of its connector that the all-gray version does not, which helps prevent accidental cross-installation.

Why the Orange-Top Battery Isn't the Same as the Gray Battery
Both the orange-top and all-gray Power Wheels batteries are 12 volts, which is why they're so commonly confused. The critical difference is the internal breaker: the orange-top battery uses a 40-amp breaker, while the all-gray battery uses a 30-amp breaker. Vehicles designed for the orange-top battery draw more current and need the higher-rated breaker to operate safely and reliably. Using the wrong battery can result in the breaker tripping prematurely, reduced performance, or potential damage to the vehicle.
Charging and Care
Before first use, charge the battery for a full 18 hours to maximize capacity from the start. Routine recharges take 14 to 18 hours. Always use the Power Wheels 12V charger (part #00801-1778) — the same charger is compatible with both the orange-top and all-gray batteries. To extend battery life, avoid storing it in a discharged state and recharge it at least once a month during periods when the vehicle isn't in use.
Keep your Power Wheels battery healthy
We ship out all Power Wheels batteries brand new, fresh from the factory. However, we recommend that you have the Power Wheels charger to keep it healthy.
It's a good idea to recharge the battery every three months when the toy is not in use. This is important during the Winter when the toy might sit for extended periods of time. Keeping the battery maintained will make sure that when the toy is being used again, it'll run for a long time.
After use, you should charge the batteries immediately. You should never run down batteries and let them sit in a discharged condition for long. If they sit for too long, there's a good possibility they'll never power the toy for as long as it should. So, keep the batteries charged and maintained!
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my Power Wheels vehicle needs the orange-top battery?
The most reliable check is the plug coming from your vehicle's wiring harness — not the battery itself. If the vehicle-side connector is orange, you need this battery. If it's black, you need the all-gray 12V battery. You can also check the part number printed on your current battery: if it shows 00801-1661, 00801-1776, or 00801-1857, this is your replacement.
Can I use the all-gray battery instead of the orange-top battery?
No. While both batteries are 12 volts, they are not interchangeable. The orange-top battery has a 40-amp internal breaker; the all-gray has a 30-amp breaker. Using an all-gray battery in a vehicle that requires the orange-top version can cause the breaker to trip repeatedly, poor performance, and potentially damage the vehicle over time. Always replace like for like. If you need the all-gray battery, you can find it here.
What charger do I need for the orange-top battery?
The orange-top battery uses the Power Wheels 12V charger, part number 00801-1778 — the same charger that's compatible with the all-gray battery. A full charge takes 14 to 18 hours, or 18 hours for a brand-new battery before its first use. Never charge for more than 30 hours at a stretch.
My vehicle is a Jeep Hurricane — is this the right battery?
Almost certainly yes — all Jeep Hurricane models use the orange-top battery. To be sure, check that the plug on your vehicle's wiring harness is orange, or look for one of these model numbers on your vehicle: FDG13, GWH24, HGB67, HJL31, J4394, K7112, N2273, T3264, X6645, or Y6239. If you have any doubt, give us a call at 1-800-405-2121 and we'll confirm.
Is this a genuine Mattel battery?
Yes. This is the official OEM battery produced by Mattel for Power Wheels vehicles — not an aftermarket alternative. Battery Mart is an authorized Power Wheels service center, so every battery we sell comes directly from Mattel.
How long will this battery last?
With proper care, a Power Wheels battery typically lasts one to three years. The biggest factors in longevity are avoiding full discharge before recharging, storing it fully charged, and keeping it on a monthly maintenance charge during off-seasons or extended periods of non-use. Batteries stored dead are the leading cause of premature failure.

Customer Reviews
My neighbor gifted us his kids Power Wheels. All we needed to do was get a battery. I found Battery Mart, and their prices were unbeatable. Although I was a little reluctant to order at first, I am so glad I did. Ordering was easy, shipping was extremely fast, and my two daughters couldn't be happier with their new toy. I also love that they give you the option to send in your old battery.
