FAQs

We now have battery-powered equivalents to many of our petrol machines. For example, our most powerful cordless chainsaw, the MSA 300, delivers up to 3.0 kW, matching the performance of the petrol MS 261. With power boost and constant power output, you get full power throughout the battery discharge to get the job done, with less maintenance and zero emissions.

STIHL battery technology offers long working times, as well as a long service life. The STIHL AP system was developed for demanding professional use, and batteries and tools in the range can communicate intelligently to optimise power usage and extend runtime.

Our AR backpack batteries, with up to 1520 Wh energy content, offer maximum runtime, and with clever accessories such as carrying systems, adapters and charging solutions, they can integrate seamlessly into your fleet.

To keep your batteries charged throughout the day, we have a range of intelligent charging and energy management solutions, e.g. overnight in charging cabinets or mobile in the vehicle during the day, there is always enough energy available. This keeps your team productive – all day long, without interruption.

All our batteries have an outstanding service life, and the AP 500 S offers up to 2500 charging cycles; twice as many as previous batteries. And, thanks to significantly lower maintenance costs and the elimination of fuel expenses, battery-powered tools can lead to real savings, especially in professional daily use. No spark plugs, no oil changes, no fuel mixing. For many businesses, the investment pays off within just a few months and continues to save money every single day.

And, with our service and support package they will receive all the training they need to use STIHL battery tools with confidence.
