• This power wheel adapter is not a charger. It only outputs voltage and power directly from your battery.
• Ensure correct polarity when connecting wires: red wire to positive (+) and black wire to negative (-). Incorrect connection can damage the adapter and connected devices.
• Always remove the battery from the adapter when not in use for extended periods to prevent potential battery drain.
• Do not exceed the maximum allowable current of 30A for the 12AWG wire.
• Keep the adapter away from water, moisture, and extreme temperatures.
• Do not attempt to disassemble or modify the adapter.

Product Features

• Integrated Protection: Built-in smart chip provides over-current, over-discharge, short-circuit, and low-voltage protection for battery and devices.
• Convenient Switch & Indicator: Features an integrated push-button switch and LED indicator to show operating mode and alert for low power or overcurrent conditions.
• High-Quality Construction: Made with heat-resistant ABS material and premium 12AWG wire for enhanced safety and conductivity.
• High Current Capacity: Supports a maximum allowable current of 30A.

Operating Instructions

1. Powering On/Off

Press the integrated push-button switch to turn the adapter ON or OFF. The LED indicator will illuminate when the adapter is powered ON.

2. LED Indicator

• Solid Green Light: Indicates the adapter is powered ON and operating normally.
• Flashing Green Light: Alerts to a low battery condition (approximately 15V) or an overcurrent event (approximately 30A). The adapter will enter a low-power mode or cut off output to protect the battery and device.

Maintenance

• Keep the adapter clean and free from dust and debris. Use a dry cloth for cleaning.
• Store the adapter in a cool, dry place when not in use.
• Always remove the battery from the adapter if it will not be used for a long time to prevent deep discharge and potential damage to the battery.

Troubleshooting

No Power Output

• Ensure the battery is fully charged and properly seated in the adapter.
• Verify that the adapter's power switch is ON.
• Check all wire connections for proper polarity and secure contact.

LED Flashing

• A flashing LED indicates either low battery voltage (around 15V) or an overcurrent condition (around 30A).
• If due to low voltage, replace or recharge the battery.
• If due to overcurrent, reduce the load on the device. The adapter will cut off output to protect the battery.

Battery Drains When Adapter is Off

• It is recommended to remove the battery from the adapter when not in use, even if the adapter's switch is off, to prevent gradual discharge of the battery over time.
