i just got a free hand me down from a friend. its the pink Barbie escalade.
I have a new battery but I don't have a charger for it, so I "made" a charger... I took a charger from an old Yamaha? 4 wheeler power wheel and spliced in some alligator clips and tried to charge the new battery. no luck... all that it does is spins the wheels if I raise it off the ground. barely moving. when I cut the wires on the old charger the black wire was the + and red was the negative. so I plugged it into my new battery like so. seemed odd as its usually reversed... cold that be the reason my new battery isn't doing anything as I had the wrong leads on the charger? im not wanting to spend $50 on a charger.
its the fisher price grey top.
thanks in advance, I didn't know powerwheelin was so popular
