How do you take out the battery to charge this thing? So far it seems like a 20 minute process of pulling lever opening hood unscrewing and prying it

My son had this tractor since October and my husband nor I have found an easy way of getting to the battery. You seem to be doing all the same frustrating things we are doing with no easy fix in sight. I was so disappointed with this tractor. I hope you can find an easier way because we have given up with this thing as it has broken in many places that it's almost unacceptable for my son to safely ride it anymore. Good luck to you I hope you have better luck then we did, our son is so disappointed.

Battery does not come out. Remove the hood by unscrewing it on both sides. then there is a cord coming from the battery that you plug the charger into it. It takes about 18hrs for first time.

If you are swapping the battery, Just open the hood. Take out the two screws that hold the battery bracket and it comes right out. If you are charging the battery you can leave the battery in place and just plug into the charger. Either way is quick and easy.

You need to just take the top front cover off leave the battery were it is connect it to the plug and plug it in, I have never had to remove the battery from the tractor. Hope this helps

It takes a large/wide, flat head screwdriver. Careful. Don't stab yourself. Insert into one side and go down 1/4" and pry up around the edges. There is a "rubber lip" towards the bottom that keeps everything intact but you must be careful not to go too deep. Keep prying up around the edges, the first time is the hardest. Once you get it out, the battery replacement is easy.

Pry it apart with a small knife or slotted screwdriver. Beware, I've had two of these go bad by way of eating up batteries within two days.

There's a hole in the housing on one side of the battery, and a door that swings open on the other side. You just push the battery through the door using a paper clip, install the new battery, and close the door.

There should be a little tab you slightly pull back on and it releases the battery cover. Most of these vehicles, you don't need to remove the screws. By doing so, you split the bottom half and top half. That's a whole different way to get to the battery.

Just squeeze tabs on either side of the lower part of the handle and pull down. Battery should slide out then slide fresh battery in and your good to go. Tabs are tight at first, but battery will come out.

Once you have removed the battery's housing, you just pull the tips of the wiring attached to the battery. I hope this helps.

I had the same issue. I am going to try to use a different five prong screwdriver to unscrew the battery. Good Luck!

Yes, it can be difficult to get this battery out of the overhead door compartment. Many years ago I tried in vain to wiggle it out or use flat head screw drivers. But, then the solution came to me and was very simple. Ronn Berrol touches upon it....get a piece of strong duct tape, wrap it around your finger with the sticky side out then place finger against the side of the battery and pull. Comes out with no problem.

This is very simple to open. You twist open where the arrows are for your batteries and then the battery holder just pulls out of the little holes that you line up. Just pull up, it comes right off! Just hold the bottom and pull gently on the black part.

Put your finger in the little groove and lift the battery out. Maybe your charger is a little tight, so you may have to push a bit harder. I am able to just lift the battery out, with the charger. Hope this helps.

Use your thumb to open the door for the battery, pull the little white plug wire to disconnect the old battery. Plug in the new battery and close the cover door. Job complete

Tracy, you have to remove two Phillips head screws on the sides of the seat in order to access the wire/charging harness for the battery. Hope this helps!

Use a 7/32" Allen head wrench. Access the stub screws from above, turn counterclockwise to loosen, then remove the wires. Naturally, one at a time and unplug from battery first.

You have to remove to one rubber cover on the end of the handle, then the safety screw. once this is done you can slide the battery cover off.

Use a flat bladed screwdriver against the wire connector to slide it off the battery. A few light taps should get it going.
