Changing to battery is a breeze with STIHL. Here’s why it’s worthwhile and why pros are making the switch.
Battery power is the future – for both political and economic reasons. And there are worldwide efforts in motion to accelerate changing to battery. The European Commission is working on the ‘Green Deal’. The overall goal of planned measures is to reduce carbon emissions – by 55 per cent by 2030 and to zero by 2050.
Moreover, the RED II Renewable Energy Directive states that the share of renewables in the energy mix should also be increased to at least 42.5 per cent by the end of the decade. In addition, there are plans to gradually increase the cost of conventional fuels. With the focus clearly on achieving a more sustainable future, the transition to battery technology is becoming more relevant all the time. With these matters in mind, the STIHL AP System not only offers efficient professional power, but can also be effortlessly adapted to individual operational requirements. Powerful, built-to-last batteries and innovative charging solutions ensure that power is reliably available even during long periods of work.
What professionals demand
• Long battery life: STIHL offers professionals long-lasting battery power in tools from hedge trimmers to blowers, mowers and more

• High-quality batteries: STIHL develops and manufactures batteries, among other things, directly in-house at its headquarters in Waiblingen, Germany
• Durability: STIHL uses robust materials and subjects them to extensive testing to ensure they can survive the harshest conditions
• Best performance: STIHL can deliver the appropriate power for every task by using the recommended combination of power tool and battery.
Battery expertise is in STIHL’s heritage
With almost 100 years of experience, STIHL has unparalleled expertise and has been building on this in its Waiblingen centre of excellence since 2009, with production of STIHL’s own battery products.
The batteries for STIHL systems are continually under development, enabling STIHL to perfectly tune their power and energy capacity. STIHL batteries also undergo intensive testing, for example for extreme weather conditions, as well as performance, safety and drop tests.
STIHL power tools are developed to last for generations, conserve resources and promote sustainability. STIHL only ever uses robust materials and high-quality manufacturing processes, so tools need to be replaced less frequently. STIHL is further expanding battery production at its headquarters in Waiblingen, initiating a new production facility and further developing intelligent charging technology.
