New Voltage Regulator 12-Volt Compatible with/Replacement forBriggs & Stranton, 790292, Abs6004

So far the issue seems to be resolved. A voltage regulator was non existent on my riding mower and my new battery was going dead constantly. After installation of the regulator I haven't had any issues. Guessing that time will tell.

Alles ok. Gerne wieder

Works just like a Briggs stratton one

The Regulator I received indeed functions properly !Plugs directly into Factory harness no problem, now have battery charging voltage limited to 14.2 voltsYou MUST find spot to properly GROUND the body of the regulator (Mounting Hole) in order for it to function (Very Important!).If you are unaware, the standard Briggs 2 to 4 amp charging system, red wire w/ single inline diode/ and Black wire in White 2 pin connector coming from engine, is "Unregulated" System. What this means is: You can have upwards of 16 plus volts DC going to "charge" the battery. Ever wonder why the Battery only lasts maybe a couple years in your riding mower? Well it's because majority of the time Mower manufacturer was to cheap to install a proper regulator, yes it will work, however at the owners expense of frequent battery replacement.Lead Acid Batteries require a charging system voltage range typically in the range of 13.8 to 14.2 volts for your best bet to have battery last as long as possible. 2 things that are not good for Batteries: #1 to be left (Stored) in low state of charge (use small automatic trickle charger in off season) #2 to be OVERCHARGED (see above for proper charge Voltage)These little regulators will take care of the Overcharge for you, a decent battery maintainer/ automatic trickle charger will take care of the normal slow discharge that occurs to Lead Acid batteries when they are not in use.

I have spent the past 3 weeks chasing a over-charge issue on my 16.5HP Poulan riding mower. I called three local small engine shops and all of them said, "Don't worry about it." I even called Briggs and Stratton customer service but because my mower was manufactured in 2009 they did not have any information on the engine it is equipped with (bought it used off Marketplace). The CSR at Briggs told me the same thing - "Don't worry about it."My stator has been over-charging my battery at 16.1-16.4v DC for who knows how long (I discovered this by accident when I added LED lighting). The battery was just replaced and I don't want to buy another one for as long as possible.I literally tried everything; pulled and cleaned EVERY ground connection, checked all "hot" connections, replaced the terminal bolts, lowered engine speed with a throttle adjustment, removed all aftermarket LED lighting and more. I also did God knows how much research online and could not figure out the over-charge issue.One of the guys from a small engine shop near me said, "Sounds like you got a heck of a charging system. I don't see the problem." That's easy to say when your not the one worried about the battery exploding under your seat.After installing this voltage regulator my voltage stayed steady at 14.5v.Moral of the story; if you have a Dual Circuit charging sysem on your Briggs and Stratton riding mower (that is NOT equipped with a regulator) and you have an over-charge issue this could fix your problem.One of the problems with buying anything used is you don't know what's been done to it before you purchased it. The Briggs and Stratton dual charging system is a UNREGULATED charging system that produces DC and AC (for lighting) voltage based off the engine speed. If someone were to replace the flywheel with the incorrect part or different size magnets - an over-charge issue could result. I believe this is what happened in my case.Installation was a snap. The hardest part was figuring out where to mount it so the regulator would get a good ground connection. I opted to mount it direct below the fuel tank on the dash side-wall. The regulator is grounded through the center mounting hole so make sure the connect is secure. I used a 1 1/2" bolt, two washers and a lock washer to keep it from vibrating loose.I hope this helps someone else with an over-charge issue.
