Ryobi EasyStart Battery Ignition Module for Gas Engines 2026

Starting a gas-powered tool has never been easier. The Ryobi EasyStart Battery Ignition Module lets you start your gas engine with the simple press of a button — no more pulling a starter cord over and over. Just attach, start, detach, and get to work.

What is the Ryobi EasyStart System?

The EasyStart Ryobi module uses battery power to start a gas engine instantly. It features a reversible dual-sided tip: one side is a triangle, the other a pentagon. By flipping the tip, you can start a compatible hedge trimmer or string trimmer. Simply insert the module into the tool's rear fitting and press the button for a quick, effortless start. This eliminates the strain of traditional pull-start engines.

The included 1.3Ah battery (in the OES1813 model) provides up to 260 starts per charge. For more power and longer runtime, you can pair it with any battery from the Ryobi ONE+ 18V system, which you can find in our Home Improvement collection.

Compatible Gas Tools

The EasyStart module works with select Ryobi gas-powered tools, including:

• Hedge Trimmer: RHT25X60RO
• String Trimmers: RBC254SESO, RBC254SBSO, RBC42FSBO, RBC47SEO, RBC52FSBO, RBC52FSBOS

If you're maintaining a large yard, consider upgrading your Garden Supplies or adding comfortable Outdoor Patio Furniture for well-deserved breaks between tasks.
