For what ages are battling spinning tops rated?

Most spinning tops used for battling games are rated for children ages 8 and up. They also contain small parts that may present a choking hazard to children under 3, so be aware of younger children who may be in the household. The tops can also bounce up when spinning, so children should not lean over them when they are in play to prevent getting hit in the face or eye.

Do light-up battling spinning tops need batteries?

Light-up battling tops come with button cell batteries pre-installed, so you don't have to purchase batteries when you buy the toy. You may have to replace the batteries if they wear down, however. Remove the screws from the underside of the top and replace them with equivalent batteries, which will likely be LR44, A-76, or similar.

What is a good starter set for battling spinning tops?

For your first purchase, a good set would include two spinning tops so you can battle with a friend and a stadium in which to battle. Battling spinning tops come in four types: attack, stamina, defense, and balance. It's nice to begin with a stamina top, which is designed for long play instead of trying to master maneuvers or attacking your opponent.
