Abstract
A battery retaining system for securing a battery in a children's ride-on vehicle. A battery compartment is disposed on the vehicle and configured to receive the battery. A battery compartment lid attaches to the battery compartment. A battery retaining clip is coupled to the battery compartment and is movable between a locked position in which the clip holds the battery in place, and an unlocked position. Optionally, the retaining clip is configured to block installation of the battery compartment lid unless the clip is in the locked position.
