Product information & specifications
STIHL AK 20 Battery — 36V 144Wh Lithium-Ion
The STIHL AK 20 is a powerful 36V lithium-ion battery for tools in the STIHL AK System. With 4.0Ah capacity, 144Wh energy and a weight of 1.2kg, it offers a strong balance of runtime, handling and performance for homeowners maintaining gardens, lawns, hedges and outdoor spaces.
It's in stock at Gustharts as an authorised STIHL dealer, with free UK delivery on this order.
Compatibility note: the AK 20 delivers full power with most AK System tools, but runs at reduced power with the MSA 70 chainsaw and REA 60 PLUS pressure washer, and cannot be used with the MSA 80 chainsaw.
Built with STIHL intelligent battery management, the AK 20 delivers CONSTANT POWER output so compatible tools maintain consistent performance as the battery discharges. Four LED indicators clearly show remaining charge, and a cold start feature protects the cells by warming them in a controlled way, allowing operation down to -20°C.

Technical Details
Why Choose the STIHL AK 20?
STIHL is one of the world's leading outdoor power tool brands, and the AK 20 sits in the middle of the AK System battery range — more runtime than the entry-level AK 10, without the size and cost of the AK 30. It's a solid default choice for most domestic AK System tools, provided your specific tool isn't on the reduced-power or incompatible list above.
