Product Description
This bundle brings together two official Peg Perego products into one convenient order: the IAKB0509 6-volt battery and the MECB0085U 6-volt charger. If your little one's Thomas the Train, John Deere Utility Tractor, or other Peg Perego 6V ride-on has gone quiet, this is everything you need to get it running again — genuine OEM parts, no guesswork, no separate trips.
What's included
This bundle contains two genuine Peg Perego products:
- IAKB0509 6V Battery — The official sealed AGM replacement battery for all Peg Perego 6V toddler ride-on vehicles. Green tamper-resistant case, compact and lightweight at just over 2 lbs., and completely maintenance-free. Ships fully charged and ready to install.
- MECB0085U 6V Charger — The official Peg Perego 6-volt charger, calibrated specifically for the IAKB0509's sealed lead-acid chemistry. Features a blinking yellow indicator light while charging and a solid green light when the battery is fully charged. Compatible with all Peg Perego 6V vehicles made after 2001.
Why the official charger matters
Inexpensive third-party chargers for 6V ride-ons are widely available, but they carry a real risk: a charger that delivers the wrong amperage or doesn't terminate at the right voltage can quietly degrade a sealed lead-acid battery long before it should need replacing. The MECB0085U is engineered to work with Peg Perego's 6V battery chemistry — it charges at the correct rate, stops at the right point, and protects the battery's long-term health. Pairing the IAKB0509 with its proper charger is the easiest way to get full value out of both.
Charge times: what to expect
The MECB0085U charges at 650mAh, making it a gentle, efficient charger well suited to the IAKB0509's compact 4.5Ah capacity. A completely depleted battery will be fully recharged in roughly 6 to 7 hours — connect it during morning nap time and it will be ready well before dinner. In typical day-to-day use, the battery rarely runs completely flat during a toddler's play session, so most charges will be shorter than that. The indicator light makes it easy to know exactly when it's done.
A complete solution for one common situation
The battery and charger bundle tends to be the right choice in a few specific situations:
- You're replacing a battery and aren't confident the original charger is still in working order.
- You purchased a used Peg Perego vehicle that didn't come with a charger.
- The toy is a gift and you want to include everything the family needs to start using it immediately.
- You want a dedicated backup charger to keep alongside a spare battery.
In any of these cases, the bundle removes the guesswork and ensures both the battery and charger are genuine, compatible, and ready to go.
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 IAKB0509 6V battery and one (1) Peg Perego MECB0085U 6V charger. Both are genuine OEM Peg Perego products. The battery ships fully charged.
Which vehicles are compatible with this bundle?
The IAKB0509 battery and MECB0085U charger are compatible with all Peg Perego 6-volt toddler ride-on vehicles, including Thomas the Train Track Rider, the Santa Fe Train, the John Deere Utility Tractor, Traffic Police, and more. For the full vehicle compatibility list, see the IAKB0509 battery product page. If your child's vehicle has a green battery, this is the bundle you need.
How long does it take to charge the battery?
The MECB0085U charges at 650mAh. A completely depleted IAKB0509 (4.5Ah) takes approximately 6 to 7 hours to reach a full charge — so plugging it in during morning nap time has it ready well before dinnertime. In practice, most batteries won't be fully depleted after a typical toddler play session, so everyday charges are usually shorter. The solid green indicator light removes any guesswork about when it's done.
Can I use this charger with other Peg Perego batteries?
The MECB0085U is designed for Peg Perego 6V sealed lead-acid batteries only. It is not compatible with 12V batteries (which use the MECB0086U) or 24V batteries (which use the MECB0121U). Always match the charger voltage to the battery voltage — using a mismatched charger can damage the battery.
Is it safe to leave the charger plugged in after the battery is full?
The MECB0085U is designed to stop charging once the battery reaches full capacity, and the indicator light will turn solid green to let you know. That said, it's good practice to unplug the charger once charging is complete rather than leaving it connected indefinitely — this helps maximize the battery's overall lifespan.
My child's vehicle already came with a charger. Do I still need this bundle?
If the original charger is still working, you can save a little by purchasing just the IAKB0509 battery on its own. The bundle is the better choice if the original charger has been lost or damaged, if you bought the vehicle used without a charger, or if you're purchasing as a gift and want everything included. It's also a convenient option for keeping a dedicated spare setup in the house.
