Default Ride-on 911 -- HELP PLEASE

I have a Prestige Mini Motors 911 cabriolet for my daughter. But I don't know what battery it takes, can someone please help?

I've seen them on Ebay every once in a while. Maybe see if one is listed then email and ask? Is the manufacturer still in business? You could get the rating off the motor and ask an electrician...or retrofit a new motor and battery (more power)!

Good luck with it!

Paul.

When my son had an electric truck, the battery was always failing, so I carved out a larger hole and installed a 12v motorcycle battery. It was a 9.6 volt truck, and I got a lot faster. It fried the accelerator switch, so I put a stronger switch in, but it would go for 2 1/2 miles. It never fried a motor, and he got tired of it after a couple of years, we took it to the dump, and he got to see the bulldozer drive over it. He loved it!

On a side note, have you seen the episode of 'Top Gear' where they hypnotize Richard Hammond, and he drives a miniature 996?
