Product information & specifications
STIHL RCA 50 Cordless Pressure Washer - Tool Only - AK System 36V - 100 Bar
This is the tool-only version — battery and charger not included. Compatible with all STIHL AK System batteries. If you do not already own an AK battery, the RCA 50 is also available as a set with battery and charger. Select the correct option before adding to basket.
The STIHL RCA 50 is a portable, cordless handheld pressure washer powered by the STIHL AK System (36V), delivering up to 100 bar maximum pressure and 270 l/h flow rate in a 3.5 kg package including the AK 20 battery. Designed for outdoor cleaning tasks without requiring a mains power connection or fixed water supply — connect to a garden hose or attach the included 5 m suction hose to draw from a water butt, tank or bucket. The RCA 50 includes an integrated nozzle for sensitive surfaces, a 3-in-1 nozzle (fan jet, rotary and narrow jet), 5 m suction hose with filter, surface cleaner with castors and detergent spray set. Working time on the recommended AK 20 battery is up to 15 minutes; on an AK 10, 6–8 minutes. Available from Gustharts, an authorised STIHL dealer, with free UK delivery available.
Key Features
- 100 bar maximum pressure, 73 bar operating pressure — capable of removing stubborn dirt from patios, garden furniture, BBQs, bicycles, vehicles and outdoor equipment
- 230–270 l/h flow rate — adjustable via the pressure and volume control; reduce pressure for delicate surfaces or increase for stubborn dirt without interrupting the cleaning task
- 3.5 kg total weight (inc. AK 20 battery) — genuinely handheld; 2.3 kg tool-only weight before battery
- STIHL Constant Power — intelligent electronics maintain consistent performance throughout the full battery discharge cycle, not just at full charge
- Works from any water source — connect to a garden hose via the hose connector or attach the 5 m suction hose to draw from a water butt, tank or container
- No mains power required — operates anywhere an AK battery can go; ideal for campsite, allotment, driveways without nearby sockets and remote outdoor cleaning
- Integrated nozzle in the gun — use without a spray lance for close-range cleaning of garden furniture; rotate to change jet direction
- 3-in-1 nozzle on the lance — fan jet, rotary and narrow jet selectable by turning; no manual nozzle swaps needed
- Rotating spray lance — adapts the jet angle to the work situation ergonomically
- Surface cleaner with integrated castors — steer across patios and large flat areas with a turn of the hand; navigates around obstacles easily
- Detergent spray set included — attach to the spray lance to apply cleaning agents to the jet
- Integrated carrying ring — safe, compact storage and hanging between uses
- Max water feed temperature: 40°C — use with warm water for enhanced cleaning performance on greasy surfaces

The Nozzle System — What Is Included and What Each Does
The RCA 50 comes with two separate nozzle systems that cover different cleaning scenarios:
Integrated gun nozzle — built directly into the gun handle; operates without attaching a spray lance. Designed for cleaning sensitive surfaces at close range — garden furniture, painted surfaces, children's play equipment. Rotate the nozzle to change the jet direction without repositioning the tool.
3-in-1 lance nozzle — attaches to the spray lance extension and offers three selectable modes by turning the nozzle head:
- Fan jet — the standard cleaning mode; wide, even spread for general dirt on patios, vehicles and outdoor surfaces
- Rotary nozzle — spinning jet for stubborn, ingrained dirt on robust surfaces such as concrete and block paving. ⚠ Always hold at least 10 cm from the surface — closer than 10 cm can cause the nozzle to block from rebounding debris
- Narrow jet — focused, high-pressure line for precision cleaning of gaps, crevices and spot stains
No manual nozzle changes are needed between modes — rotate the 3-in-1 head to switch instantly.
Also Known As
The STIHL RCA 50 is also referred to as a cordless pressure washer, battery pressure washer, portable power washer, handheld pressure washer, battery-powered pressure washer and cordless power cleaner. For ordering, reference the STIHL RCA 50 and confirm you are selecting the correct tool-only or set option. The AK system battery is sold separately for the tool-only version.
Pairs Well With
- STIHL AK 20 Battery — the recommended battery for the RCA 50; 12–15 minutes working time per charge
- STIHL AK 30 or AK 40 — higher-capacity AK batteries for extended run time per charge if longer sessions are needed
- STIHL AL 101 Charger — the standard AK System charger for home charging of AK batteries between cleaning sessions

FAQs
Does the RCA 50 come with a battery?
This is the tool-only version — no battery or charger is included. It is compatible with all STIHL AK System batteries. If you need a battery, the RCA 50 is also available as a set with an AK 20 battery and charger.
Do I need a tap or water connection to use the RCA 50?
No. Connect to a garden hose for a standard supply, or attach the included 5 m suction hose to draw water from a tank, water butt or bucket. The suction hose can also be used as a hose extension when connected to a tap.
How long does the battery last?
On the recommended AK 20, working time is 12–15 minutes. On the smaller AK 10, 6–8 minutes. Higher-capacity AK batteries (AK 30, AK 40) will provide longer run times. Working times are indicative and vary with application and pressure setting.
What is the minimum distance for the rotary nozzle?
Always hold the rotary nozzle at least 10 cm from the surface. Holding it closer causes dirt and debris to rebound into the nozzle, blocking it. The other nozzle modes do not carry this restriction.
What other STIHL AK System tools are compatible with the same batteries?
The STIHL AK System powers a wide range of compact garden tools including the BGA 45 leaf blower, FSA 57 grass trimmer, HSA 56 hedge trimmer and more. Any existing AK battery from these tools is directly compatible with the RCA 50.
