How would I know if a battery needs replacement or if something is wrong with motor/wires? Barbie Jeep has been in storage for a year and won't work.

Any auto parts store should be able to test the battery.as far as the wires, do you know any auto mechanics? Lots of them own tools for testing connections and such. You could start there.

I didn't know either, but since my grandauther's vehicle was on storage for 5 years. I just assumed it was the battery and ordered a new one. Now it works perfect and my grandson is using it daily.

Try charging the battery before buying a new battery. Mine needed replacing because the charge wouldn't last for more than 15min.

Your battery maybe shot.... Take it somewhere to have it tested... If it is shot order new one from currie

probably the battery is defective, contact the manufacturer for a replacement.

Please make sure the batteries are installed correctly and that all battery panels have been re-attached (some toys will not operate when the battery panel is removed). If the item still does not work I would recommend returning it as defective and request that Amazon send you a replacement item. Thank you!

I'd check the numbers on the battery and see if any Ebay seller might have replacements. Or check on the net for phone batteries. Call ATT (it's their phone) and have them order the batteries.

You can get a new battery on e-bay and there is probably video of the proceedure on youtube, otherwise will need to purchase a new GPS. I would recommend a Garmin as I like the Garmins much better than the Tomtoms and I have owned two in the past. I hope this helps!

clean the battery contacts. make sure you tighten it firmly but don't over-torque it. Don't use a tool to tighten it. If that doesn't resolve it, contact the manufacturer. you may have a defective unit.

It is a built in Lithium battery. So, I'm assuming no way to replace it. They are asking me to assume the charge of shipping and send a $9.95 check for possible repairs because mine stopped working. That would probably be what you would need to do if yours needed a new battery. Since I've had mine less than 6 months I'm not a happy camper. Probably will not send it back. (This is their idea of a guarantee, I guess.)

If charging circuit is non-operational, the old battery may be OK. try returning the battery and request replacement. if charging problem still exists, the charging circuit may be the culprit.

Check to make sure the battery is in correctly, if it is, send the kit back. It is probably bad. "No user serviceable parts.

Yes and no. The battery battery itself is standard but the connection between the two is not. If you are handy and the jeep is out of warranty, you can find one pretty cheap or under $30. If you are not handy, save the hassle and order the replacement directly from National Products who is the manufacturer.

Try a different battery than the one that was in it and the one you replaced. If that doesn't work make certain the 2 posts are inserted as far as they will go. Now, a problem my niece had, on the wheel with all the balls. Make certain they are equally spaced. I think if the balls are to close together it throws the balance off. One wheel will turn to allow you to do this. If this doesn't correct the problem send it back to Amazon. Note: I stopped using mine because a battery only lasts about 3 months and there is no on/off switch for times when you don't want it running. It's a bother to always remove the batter.

I guess that's possible, I have had no issues at all with mine. I believe if you go on their website or call them, you can order a new battery.

There is a battery. Try taking it out and putting it back in. The first one I bought was a dud and amazon sent me a new one which has been going strong since.

First step is to take the battery to an automove shop or garage and see if the battery is still good (will hold a charge). If not, it has to be replaced. If the battery is good and should be accepting a charge, then your charging device is malfunctioning and needs to be replaced. Not sure if that helps or not.

If it no longer takes a charge, it is most likely the battery. You won't know for sure until you replace the battery.

You may want to contact the seller. I didnt have such issues. You may have already done this, but to double check unplug the power cord just to make sure the battery is working.
