Stihl’s Pro Cordless Power Tool – An Alternative For Professionals

Stihl Batteries

Short battery life and heavy batteries have previously ruled out battery powered garden machinery as an option for professional users. However, in recent years manufacturers have been investing in technologies that have resulted in more powerful batteries that are far more mobile.

At The Mower Shop, we’re a Stihl stockist and wanted to highlight their great range of professional quality batteries and battery powered equipment. Known collectively as the Pro Cordless Power Tool System, the range includes a wide range of garden equipment including mowers, pole pruners, chainsaws, brush cutters, hedge trimmers, blowers, sweepers, cut-off saws and even powered pruning shears.

One Battery For All Your Equipment

All of the equipment in the Li Pro Cordless Power Tool System range operates from the same battery. Which, whilst being extremely convenient, also represents a saving over purchasing multiple different batteries.

You have a number of choices when it comes to the battery you purchase. All of the batteries use the same advanced Lithium-Ion technology. Stihl offers a number of battery sizes from the small AP100 battery which weighs 0.8kg right up to the large AR3000 backpack battery which weighs 8.2kg.

Long Battery Life

The battery that’s right for you will depend on how much you plan to use your equipment in a single day. One of our team will be more than happy to advise you if you pop in or call us, but we’ve also included a handy table below that you can use to see estimated battery life.

Battery ModelBattery Life*
AP1001 Hour
AP2002 Hours
AP3003 Hours
AR200011 Hours
Ar300013 Hours and 20 Minutes
*All running times are based on using it with the HSA 86 and uses the technical data on Stihl’s website. Battery life will vary depending on the condition of use.

Quick Charging Times

You also have a choice to make when deciding on which charger you want to use with your battery. You can choose from the standard, quick and high-speed chargers. Your choice will most likely depend on the battery you choose and how frequently you use your equipment. Below, we’ve included a table showing the charging times for each of the batteries using the different chargers.

Charger Model & Time To Charge
Battery ModelAL101 - StandardAL300 - QuickAL500 - High-Speed
AP10090 Minutes50 Minutes35 Minutes
AP200165 Minutes55 Minutes35 Minutes
AP300250 Minutes75 Minutes35 Minutes
AR2000N/AN/A130 Minutes
AR3000N/AN/A160 Minutes

Cheap To Run

Another benefit of using battery-powered gardening equipment is the low cost to charge. The smallest battery, the AP100, costs only 2.2 pence to charge (at an assumed electricity cost of 14.37p per kWh). As well as being cheap to charge, the equipment motors are energy-efficient and non-wearing to ensure a long life. The table below shows the cost to charge of the different batteries coupled with the different charging options.

AP1002.2p3.6p5p
AP2004p3.9p5p
AP3006p5.4p5p
AR2000N/AN/A18.6p
AR3000N/AN/A22.9p

Convenient & Flexible

The reduced weight of the modern batteries, such as the ones in Stihl’s Pro Cordless Power Tool System, makes them far more convenient and comfortable to use for long periods of time. The heaviest battery in the Pro Cordless Power Tool System range weighs in at 8.2kg and is carried in a backpack to make it easier to manoeuvre. The reduced weight and improved manoeuvrability meaning that the Stihl range is a real alternative to traditional petrol garden equipment for professional use. In addition, the reduced noise of the electric motor and the exhaust-free operation makes it far more pleasant to use as an operator.
