Briggs & Stratton InStart® Li-ion Battery – Genuine Replacement (597189)

Experience the ultimate convenience of effortless, push-button mowing with the genuine Briggs & Stratton InStart® Li-ion Battery (597189). The revolutionary InStart® system completely eliminates the exhausting physical strain of pulling a traditional recoil cord. This highly advanced, compact 10.8V lithium-ion mower battery clips securely onto the top of your Briggs & Stratton engine, delivering an instant, massive surge of electrical power to the starter motor. This ensures your lawn mower starts flawlessly the very first time, every time, allowing you to get straight to work with zero frustration.

When dealing with high-drain starting motors, inferior aftermarket batteries quickly overheat, fail to hold a charge, or permanently damage the mower's electrical system. Manufactured directly by the brand, this 100% authentic Briggs and Stratton replacement battery utilizes premium lithium-ion cells that suffer from zero 'memory effect', meaning it can be charged at any time without losing its maximum capacity. Designed to perfectly fit select premium Victa and Masport mowers, this genuine OEM part ensures perfect electrical compatibility and a vastly extended service life for your outdoor power equipment.

*Please Note: This listing is for the Battery Pack only. The 240V Battery Charger is NOT included and is sold separately.

What is the Briggs & Stratton InStart system?

The InStart system replaces the traditional pull-cord on a lawn mower. It uses this small, 10.8V lithium-ion battery attached to the top of the engine to power an electric starter motor. You simply push a button or turn a key, and the mower starts instantly.

Does this battery come with the wall charger?

No. This listing (Part 597189) is for the physical lithium-ion battery pack only. If you have also lost your charger, the Briggs & Stratton InStart Charger must be purchased separately.

Will this replace my old 593560 battery?

Yes! Briggs & Stratton has updated their battery technology. This 597189 model is the direct, official OEM replacement for the early, discontinued 593560 battery.

How long does the battery last on a single charge?

A fully charged InStart battery is incredibly efficient. A full 60-minute charge typically provides enough power for 50 to 75 starts, which is enough to last most homeowners an entire mowing season.

What if my battery is flat and I need to mow right now?

The lithium-ion technology allows for rapid charging. Placing the flat battery on the charger for just 10 minutes will give it enough power to start the mower up to 10 times, getting you out of trouble instantly.

Will this fit my Victa Mustang or Masport mower?

If your Victa or Masport mower features the Briggs & Stratton 'InStart' push-button engine system (which features a black battery dock on the top of the engine cover), then yes, this is the exact battery you need.

Can I leave the battery clipped to the mower all winter?

It is highly recommended that you remove the battery from the mower during the winter off-season. Store the battery indoors in a cool, dry place to prevent freezing temperatures from degrading the lithium-ion cells.

Can I use a generic laptop charger to charge this?

Absolutely NOT. Lithium-ion batteries require highly specific voltage and communication to charge safely. Using a generic or modified charger will cause the battery to overheat, catch fire, or explode. You must use the genuine InStart charger.

Is this a genuine Briggs & Stratton part?

Yes, this is a 100% authentic OEM Briggs & Stratton battery, ensuring the highest level of safety, performance, and longevity.

How do I know how much charge is left in the battery?

The battery features a small button with built-in LED indicator lights. Pressing the button illuminates the lights, instantly showing you exactly how much power is remaining in the pack.

Do you offer trade pricing for mower repair shops?

Yes, Freshway Supplies provides highly competitive volume pricing and trade accounts for small engine mechanics, lawn care contractors, and facility managers. Contact us to set up your trade account.
