Fun Zippy Pets

Fun Zippy Pets are motorized plush animal rides for kids and adults. Each ride-on animal rolls on four wheels with LED lights and music. The designs span horses and unicorns along with dozens of other animals.

These colorful ride-on toy creations run at shopping malls and event venues. Many owners also set them up in home backyards for daily rides. A handlebar lets the rider steer the animal left and right.

A foot pedal controls the forward speed on each ride. Releasing the pedal brings the animal to a full stop. About 98% of all Fun Zippy Pet models run on two 12-volt batteries.

Both sealed lead-acid cells sit inside the body of the plush animal. Each one uses F2 terminals and AGM factory-sealed construction. After many charge cycles, those cells lose amp-hour capacity over time.

Run time drops, the motor slows, and the lights start to dim. A fresh cell brings the ride back to full speed and brightness. Swapping the old battery out is a simple task for most owners.

The right Fun Zippy Pet replacement batteries match the stock 12V 12Ah spec. We carry three AGM options with F2 tabs from two trusted brands. Each one drops into the original battery bay with no wiring changes.

Fun Zippy Pet Battery Recommendations

Three sealed lead-acid Fun Zippy Pet replacement batteries fit the full ride-on toy line here. The two 12Ah models replace the original cells at stock capacity. The 15Ah model adds 25% more stored energy in the same case.

1. UPG UB12120-F2 12 Volt 12Ah Battery

The UB12120-F2 is the standard-capacity match for most Fun Zippy Pet rides. It stores 12 amp-hours at a 20-hour discharge rate. The cell weighs 8.38 pounds and measures 5.94 x 3.88 x 4 inches.

UPG builds this battery with absorbed glass mat construction inside. AGM means thin fiberglass mats hold the acid between the lead plates. That factory-sealed design stops spills and runs in any position.

F2 terminals at 0.25 inches wide match every Fun Zippy Pet connector. We carry this UPG 12Ah factory-sealed battery with a full 1-year replacement warranty. A 15Ah version in the same case size is also in stock.

The float charge voltage for this cell sits between 13.6 and 13.8 volts. Cycle charge runs at 14.4 to 14.7 volts for a full top-up. A standard 12-volt SLA charger handles both charge modes with ease.

2. UPG UB12150-F2 12 Volt 15Ah Upgrade

The UB12150-F2 holds 15 amp-hours instead of the standard 12. That 25% capacity bump adds more run time between charges. It fits the same 5.94 x 3.88 x 4-inch battery bay as the 12Ah.

Weight goes up to 9.6 pounds, about 1.2 pounds more than the 12Ah. The same spill-proof AGM construction carries over from the standard model. UPG rates this as a deep discharge battery for ride-on toys.

This cell uses the same F2 terminal layout and sealed chemistry throughout. We also stock the 15Ah deep cycle UPG upgrade in the same case dimensions. A 1-year replacement warranty covers this model from the purchase date.

Mall kiosk and event rental setups benefit most from the extra capacity. The deeper charge reserve means fewer mid-day battery swaps during long hours. Home users with active riders also gain more time between charges.

3. Power Sonic PS-12120-F2 12 Volt 12Ah SLA Battery

The PS-12120-F2 is a 12Ah sealed lead-acid cell from Power Sonic. It matches the UPG 12Ah at 5.94 x 3.88 x 4 inches and 8.38 pounds. The same F2 terminal width works with every Fun Zippy Pet connector.

Power Sonic uses valve-regulated AGM construction with a sealed ABS case. The case holds a UL94-HB flame rating for impact and heat resistance. This battery is UL recognized under file number MH 20845.

It also carries D.O.T., I.A.T.A., F.A.A., and C.A.B. air transport approval. We also carry the Power Sonic sealed AGM 12Ah option as a second brand alternative. A 1-year replacement warranty comes with every unit we ship.

This cell cross-references with the CSB GP12120 and the Enersys NP12-12. Those part numbers help buyers confirm a match from another brand listing. Kids ride-on toys are among the listed applications for this model.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

People ask some common questions before replacing their Fun Zippy Pet batteries. Below, we shed some light on some of them. This will help you understand better when you eventually decide to order.

What battery does a Fun Zippy Pet use?

Most Fun Zippy Pets use two 12V sealed AGM batteries. Many models use 12Ah batteries with wide F2 terminals. The old battery label should confirm voltage and capacity before replacement.

Can I replace a 12Ah battery with a 15Ah battery?

Yes, a 15Ah battery can work when voltage and case size match. The UPG 15Ah option uses the same listed case dimensions. Its higher capacity can provide more riding time between charges.

Do Fun Zippy Pets need one battery or two?

Most Fun Zippy Pet models use two 12V batteries together. Both batteries should share the same voltage and capacity rating. A matched pair also helps both batteries discharge at the same rate.

What does F2 mean on a Fun Zippy Pet battery?

F2 describes the wider metal terminal used for the wire connection. These tabs measure about one-quarter inch across their width. The connector must fit the terminal without bending or loose contact.

How do I know when a Fun Zippy Pet battery needs replacement?

Shorter ride time often signals an aging or worn battery. Slower movement after charging can also point to lost battery capacity. Swollen or cracked cases mean the battery should stop being used.

Picking Your Fun Zippy Pet Replacement Battery

Fun Zippy Pet replacement batteries should match voltage and terminal type first. The 12Ah options suit stock run-time needs for most ride sessions. The 15Ah UPG choice adds more stored charge between rides.

UPG offers both the 12Ah and 15Ah sizes on this page. Power Sonic gives buyers another sealed 12Ah AGM choice on top. All three cells use the same F2 tabs and case dimensions.

The label on the old battery can help prevent an ordering mistake. Voltage and amp-hours should come before brand comparison. Case size and terminal position need a final check before purchase.

We ship all three options with free ground delivery on orders over $50 in the USA. Each battery arrives ready to drop into any Fun Zippy Pet model.
