Long Service Life
All STIHL cordless tools use advanced lithium-ion battery technology with extremely high energy density and long lifespan. STIHL AP System batteries can be fully charged around 1,200 times — ideal for professional use over several years.
For domestic users, a STIHL battery can last up to 10 years when charged around ten times per month. Proper care and correct charging ensure optimum performance and a long operational life.

STIHL batteries are engineered without a “memory effect”, meaning you can recharge them at any time without affecting capacity or performance. Interruptions to charging, or partial discharges, have no impact on battery life.
Top up your charge during breaks — there’s no need to wait for full discharge before recharging.
Lightweight & Compact Design
STIHL lithium-ion batteries are compact, ergonomic, and easy to handle. The lightweight construction ensures balanced tool control and reduces fatigue, allowing users to work efficiently for extended periods.
Low Self-Discharge
STIHL battery technology ensures very low self-discharge rates. Even after months of storage, a properly maintained battery retains most of its charge. This makes STIHL cordless tools ready to use whenever you are.
For long-term storage, keep the battery partially charged in a dry, cool environment away from direct sunlight.
