STIHL AP batteries are designed for tools within the STIHL AP System. This includes selected professional chainsaws, hedge trimmers, blowers, brushcutters, lawn mowers, pole pruners and other cordless AP machines.
For best results, always match the battery to the tool and workload, as higher-output machines may require higher-capacity AP batteries for optimum performance.

The AP 300 S is a strong all-round professional battery, while the AP 500 S is the best choice for higher-demand tools, longer runtime and heavy daily use.
Runtime depends on the tool, battery size and workload. Higher-capacity batteries such as the AP 300 S and AP 500 S usually provide longer working times than smaller AP batteries.
For battery lifespan, STIHL recommends storing lithium-ion batteries at around 40–60% charge when not in use, helping protect the battery during storage.
