How to Replace the Batteries in the Little Tikes H2

The Little Tikes Hummer H2 is a ride-on toy for children. It's similar to the Power Wheels brand of ride-on vehicles. The Hummer H2 uses two batteries for its AM/FM radio. It also uses a single rechargeable battery to power the drivetrain. If the primary battery no longer holds a charge, you'll need to replace it with a new one from Little Tikes. You can use standard AA batteries for the radio.
