Batteries Reviews

This car hauls rear and is so durable. I love the speed and the handling. By extra batteries.

This car is very fast and durable. It goes 20 mph. I crashed it at top speed and it still runs perfect. It runs 30 minutes on acharged battery pack but it takes 4 hours to charge. But this is a great car

My grandmothr got this for me. It runs for about 25 minutes on a full battery but thakes 4 hours to charge. it goes well over 20 mph. and is vcery durable(grandfather crashed it and it still runs perfect) but I suggest buying evtra battery packs

This metal battery operated Lady engine and her metal battery operated companions (Thomas, Percy, etc.) are for use with the wooden track. There are larger plastic battery operated engines that fit both the wooden track and the blue plastic track by Tomy.

This is a great product. Very well-constructed. Very durable. It can be switched on, go forward or backward, and it can be pushed manually--another reviewer complained that it could not be pushed, but it can be pushed.

Purchasing recommendation:
* Wait until appropriate age: Our son started with Thomas when he was 18 months old, but we did not buy any battery engines until he was 3. We wanted for him to use his imagination in pushing and pulling for a while. Now he sometimes sits back and just watches the battery engines, while at other times he pushes them.

* The metal engines are more durable: The metal engines cost more than the larger plastic battery-operated engines, but they are far more durable. They feel solid in the hand. They go both forward and backwards, while the plastic engines only go forward. They pull the wooden cars that your child may already have. They're just a better fit!

My 2 1/2 year old loves all things Thomas. I had bought this for him a while ago as I thought he would enjoy watching it go around the track on its own. Initially he wanted nothing to do with it. Recently however, he started appreciating it more and now any time he is playing with his Thomas toys, Lady must be going around the track. In fact he never wants it turned off! The train itself is very durable and can pull almost all his other trains (and he has a lot of them). I also bought him battery-operated Percy but he doesn't work as well as "Big Lady". In fact I returned Percy to the store twice already as they were defective. I would recommend Lady to anyone who had the train setup, it is great to watch and also makes my son try to logically constuct tracks that she can follow to get around to all the buildings, bridges and tunnels

My son enjoys the battery powered Lady VERY much. We recently got the battery powered Percy for his 3rd birthday, and Lady appears to be the better engine. You can move her forward or backward when she isn't turned on (Percy's wheels only move when he is turned on - you can't make him go backward) - and she stays on the track really well (Percy comes off at switches and sometimes curves). I would highly recommend the battery powered lady for any Thomas enthusiast!

As much as I like the Engergizer Bunny, I think Rayovac is becoming my favorite brand of batteries. They last just as long as any of the other major brands (Engerizer, Duracel, etc) and are less expensive. Plus, Rayovac often has special packs you can buy giving you even more bang for your buck. In short, these are some great batteries for a great price.

No, not educational unless there are booklets that show how batteries are made! Durability, well, it is a battery, how durable does it need to be? Well, I'm pleased! I was able to provide batteries for one item I knew would need it and provide yet even more items that I did not count on receiving. Nor did I realize they would need batteries until I looked at the packages. Absolutely tickled they were offered automatically with my order, otherwise, I would not have made the purchase.

This car game pack is excellent for the traveler. With the headphones you can ignore your parents boring radio stations. With the D/C adapter you can play games without your battery running out. Sometimes your parents have to put on their mobile phone in the D/C outlet in your car, then just use the rechargeable battery pack. Then if you are still driving in your car and it is dark, you don't have to stop playing. Just use the lighted game shield. If you travel in the car for a long time this is how to pass the time and have FUN!

This pack is great! You get all these wonderful little accessories to help you out while playing on the old game boy in the car. I especially like the headphones.

gameboy bundle pack is the best thing money can buy and the price is wonderful my kids really injoy playing with gameboys when we are traveling or waiting in the doctors office it's a trully remarkable toy and it's fun and interesting especially
with the wide variety of games that it comes with it gamboy is a trully fashionable toy of all it time.

Thank you

It is worth it for starters it is the best thing out there if you are looking for something to start out with or give a gif under the tree it is this plus it is a lot more sold sepretly

My son recently received a Power Wheels jeep that had been in use for over 3 years before he got it. The batteries had not been charged as specified in the instructions, and they died shortly after he started using it. The jeep couldn't run on concrete, much less on grass.

I replaced both existing batteries with these, which incidentally are a different colour from the picture, and the jeep now runs fine on most surfaces.

It requires 18 hours charging time before you can use the batteries, so be prepared for some impatience before the vehicle can actually be used. You have to charge them after each use, and also once a month if the vehicle is not in use, at 16 hours each time.

Tech support from Fisher Price is non-existent in my part of the world, where 800 numbers are not accessible, because their site doesn't have a customer service or tech support e-mail address listed. I needed important information, because I learned that the model I have was recalled for electrical problems, and I wanted to see exactly which parts needed to be fixed to solve the problem.

I'm sure that these batteries will last a long time with proper care, but wish the tech support was better

MY BROTHER HAD IT WHEN HE WAS 3 AND NOW 17 AND MY KIDS HAVE
ENJOYED IT FOR THE LAST PAST 3 YEARS ITS STILL RUNNING STRONG

I ordered this item because it was listed as an accessory item for the Power Wheels Jeep. One is included with the Jeep. This is a replacement part.

I love it,I love it,I love it,I love it,I love it,I love it,I love it!

This has everything you coul possibly need for you GBA. I really like the rechargeable battery pack. If you you hate buying batteries this is for you or should I say you GBA

I bought this one day while looking for somethin else.. and found it to be worth every penny...
It charges remarkably fast and lasts almost as long as a decent set of regular batteries..
Add to that the fact that you can play with one pack while the other charges and you have one awsome battery option.
If you own a GBA and are tired of buying batteries for it this is a must buy.

I bought it for my kids. They go through batteries like water. Only peeve is its a little bulky. I also like that the adapter can be used on the gameboy itself.

Even though I haven't got one yet I have tried it out and it is the best! No more wasted batteries! You can play up to ten hours without stopping. The handy power is really dandy. It is also rechargble. So if you you have a Color Gameboy, Get This!

I got this along with my Gameboy, and it will save you a lot of money on batteries. Definitely worth the money.

My wife and I very recently spent a lot of money buying sets and parts of the Wooden Thomas and Friends toys. A blue powered Thomas came in a set and we bought a separate one, the Lady.

The Lady is still playing fine, no problems so far. But the car Thomas went dead after less than three or four days playing. We went back to the Toys R Us store where we bought it and they promptly exchanged it for a powered Percy, since they didn't have a powered Thomas.

My two daughters played very little with the new Percy. I, the father, played more than them. I assembled a circuit and played for some time with the new car, Percy. The next day (one day after getting the new powered car), I was to turn it on again and I found out that the power button was broken. Nobody let it fall. Nobody gave it any mistreatment or misuse. My daughters only play with adult supervision, since it's an very expensive set of toys and we don't want the pieces broken.

So, one day after exchanging a defective Thomas, now I have a defective Percy.

I just wanted to warn that despite the fact that Wooden Thomas and Friends are a nice (and expensive) toy, their so-called die-cast vehicles are cheap plastic inside. They break very easily and you end up with a die-cast toy that simply doesn't work anymore. And I thought that they were supposed to last for years.

This metal battery operated Percy engine and his metal battery operated companions (Thomas, Lady, etc.) are for use with the wooden track. There are larger plastic battery operated engines that fit both the wooden track and the blue plastic track by Tomy.

This is a great product. Very well-constructed. Very durable. It can be switched on, go forward or backward, and it can be pushed manually--another reviewer complained that it could not be pushed, but it can be pushed.

The battery powered Percy is well made and the batteries last forever. I liked that it came by itself rather than with cars, so it was not quite so expensive. The new style buttons are much easier to use than the old slide switch. My kids love all of the Thomas trains. I never realized how much they learned from it, but my 2-3 year olds learned both numbers and colors from Thomas. I can hear them mimicking the videos with voices of trains trying to solve a problem or help each other out. I think the whole Thomas line is great and this is no exception.
