Product Description
This bundle pairs two official Peg Perego products into a single, convenient order: the IAKB0501 12-volt 12Ah battery and the MECB0086U 12-volt charger — everything you need to get back up and running, or to set up a new vehicle for the first time. No research required, no compatibility questions, no separate orders. It's the battery and the charger that belong together, bundled together.
What's included
This bundle contains two genuine Peg Perego products:
- IAKB0501 12V 12Ah Battery — The official sealed AGM replacement battery for all Peg Perego 12V ride-on vehicles, including John Deere tractors and Gators, Polaris ATVs, Ducati motorcycles, and Case IH models. Blue tamper-resistant case with built-in thermal protector. Ships fully charged.
- MECB0086U 12V Charger — The official Peg Perego 12-volt standard charger. Pre-calibrated specifically for Peg Perego 12V lead-acid batteries, with a charge rate of approximately 900mAh. Status indicator light shows red while charging and green when the battery is fully charged. Compatible with all Peg Perego 12V vehicles made after 2001.
Why the official charger matters
Third-party chargers for ride-on toys are easy to find, but using one carries real risk. The MECB0086U is calibrated specifically for Peg Perego's sealed lead-acid battery chemistry — it delivers the right charge rate and shuts off at the right voltage. A generic charger that outputs the wrong amperage or doesn't terminate the charge properly can quietly degrade the battery over time, shortening its lifespan well before it should need replacing. Pairing the IAKB0501 with its official charger is the simplest way to protect your investment.
Charge times and what to expect
The MECB0086U charges at approximately 900mAh, which makes it a standard overnight charger rather than a rapid charger. A completely depleted IAKB0501 will be fully charged in roughly 12 to 13 hours — plug it in after dinner, and it's ready by morning. Day-to-day, most families find the battery rarely runs completely flat during a typical session, so recharge times are usually shorter. If your child uses the vehicle frequently and you want the option to charge in two hours or less, the IKCB0081 quick charger is also available separately.
A complete solution for one common situation
The battery and charger bundle is particularly useful in a few situations:
- You're replacing a battery that died and aren't sure whether the original charger is still working reliably.
- You bought a used Peg Perego vehicle that didn't come with a charger.
- You want a dedicated second charger to keep in the garage alongside a spare battery.
- You're purchasing as a gift and want to include everything the recipient needs.
In any of these cases, ordering the bundle eliminates one extra decision and ensures both pieces are the real thing.
Keep your Peg Perego battery healthy
We ship out all Peg Perego batteries fully charged. However, we recommend that you have the Peg Perego 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
What's included in this bundle?
This bundle includes one (1) Peg Perego IAKB0501 12V 12Ah blue battery and one (1) Peg Perego MECB0086U 12V standard charger. Both are genuine OEM Peg Perego products. The battery ships fully charged.
Which vehicles are compatible with this bundle?
The IAKB0501 battery and MECB0086U charger are compatible with all Peg Perego 12-volt ride-on vehicles, including John Deere, Polaris, Ducati, Case IH, and Gaucho models. For the full vehicle compatibility list, see the IAKB0501 battery product page. Both the battery and the charger use the same wire harness connector found on all Peg Perego 12V vehicles made after 2001.
How long does it take to fully charge the battery?
The MECB0086U charges at approximately 900mAh. A completely depleted IAKB0501 (12Ah) will take roughly 12 to 13 hours to reach a full charge — making it an overnight charger rather than a quick charger. In practice, most batteries don't fully deplete during a normal play session, so day-to-day recharge times are typically shorter. If you need faster charging, Peg Perego's IKCB0081 quick charger can fully charge the battery in about 2 hours and is available separately.
Can I use this charger with other Peg Perego batteries?
The MECB0086U is designed for Peg Perego 12V sealed lead-acid batteries only. It is not compatible with 6V batteries (which require the MECB0037U) or 24V batteries (which require the MECB0121U). Using a charger at the wrong voltage can damage a battery — always match the charger voltage to the battery voltage.
Is it safe to leave the charger plugged in overnight?
Yes. The MECB0086U is calibrated to stop charging once the battery reaches full capacity. The indicator light will switch from red to green when charging is complete, and the charger will not overcharge the battery. That said, it's good practice not to leave the charger connected indefinitely — unplugging it once the battery is fully charged is the best habit for maximizing battery lifespan.
My vehicle already came with a charger. Do I still need this bundle?
If the original charger is still working correctly, you can save a little by purchasing just the IAKB0501 battery on its own. The bundle is a great option if your original charger is lost or damaged, if you bought a used vehicle without a charger, or if you want a second setup — whether for a spare battery or a second location.
