STIHL batteries are immediately ready for use, quiet and tailored to your requirements in the garden, forestry or everyday professional work. This approach is integral to STIHL’s battery technology: STIHL develops battery power tools for those who need reliable and powerful battery products for their outdoor tasks.
Lithium-ion battery technology powers all STIHL cordless tools. STIHL batteries have a very high energy density and an exceptionally long service life that makes them a sound investment. With proper maintenance and careful usage, STIHL ALLPRO system batteries can be fully charged around 3000 times – assuming regular professional usage, this corresponds to at least 5 years. For domestic users, our cordless tools and battery systems can last as long as ten years (assuming ten charging cycles per month). Find out more about what to remember when charging a lithium-ion battery.
Any interruptions to the charging process do not impair the storage capacity or lifespan of the battery - charging for ten minutes during a biscuit break is absolutely fine. Partial discharge is also not a problem, so there's no pressure to always finish the job with a fully discharged battery. Find out more about the memory effect, and why advances in battery technology mean it’s not a problem in your STIHL tools.
The lithium-ion batteries in STIHL power tools are a manageable size, practical, lightweight and easy to handle.
The technology used in a lithium-ion battery means very low self-discharge rates. If removed from the tool and stored correctly, STIHL batteries can provide virtually the same power months later as they did when they went into storage.
STIHL's battery technology helps deliver strong, consistent performance throughout the battery's runtime. Whether your battery is at 100% or 10% charge, intelligent electronics work to maintain a high level of power, without the drop in performance often associated with battery-powered tools.
STIHL batteries are divided into different battery systems. From the powerful ALLPRO system to the handy AS system, you’ll find the right battery for your STIHL power tools for every application. This overview shows you which STIHL battery is right for you and your application.
The ALLPRO batteries are compatible with more than 80 power tools, including all power tools in the previous AP system. ALLPRO thus expands the previous strengths of the AP system for Next Level Power.
Choose the right STIHL battery system that can grow with you:
When choosing a STIHL tool, it's worth thinking about the tools you may need in the future too. Within each battery system, one battery can power multiple compatible tools, making it easy to expand your collection while sticking with the same battery and charger.
In this video, STIHL trainer Tobias Sinn explains the differences between the ALLPRO, AK, AP and AS systems, their advantages and which battery system is best suited to your tasks. It also shows you how splash protection and STIHL connected make your work more plannable - with practical insights and tips for demanding use.
Choosing the right battery system depends primarily on your working day: how intensively do you use your power tools and how much power do you demand from them? A STIHL battery does not only need to be suitable for your power tool, but also for your projects. Here you will find a comparison of relevant information, including runtimes and charging times for all STIHL battery power systems.

Whether hedge trimmers, chainsaws or leaf blowers for pro use: the power tool overview shows you the wide range of STIHL battery power tools. With the filters, you can quickly find out which power tools fit which battery power system.
What are the differences between the STIHL ALLPRO and AP systems?
The STIHL ALLPRO battery power system is the technological further development of the proven AP system, which meets high performance requirements. The main difference lies in the tabless cell technology of the ALLPRO performance series (AP 100.0 P, AP 200.0 P and AP 300.0 P(C)): this enables a peak power of up to 4.0 kilowatts and an increased service life of over 3,000 charge cycles* without noticeable power loss. In addition, you can charge an ALLPRO performance battery to 80 percent in just 9 minutes - at ambient or battery temperatures of 25-40°C in combination with the AL 1802 MO.
* Charge cycles: Up to 3,000 cycles without noticeable loss of performance, can still be used afterwards. Only valid for ALLPRO batteries AP 100.0 P, AP 200.0 P and AP 300.0 P(C).
The choice depends on the intensity of use. The STIHL ALLPRO battery systemis the best choice for daily professional continuous use under demanding conditions. The ALLPRO performance series (AP 100.0 P, AP 200.0 P and AP 300.0 P(C)) minimise downtimes by charging in just 9 minutes at ambient or battery temperatures of 25-40 °C in combination with the AL 1802 MO high-speed charger. Their long service life reduces your total cost of ownership.
Yes, STIHL enables full system consistency within the professional range. You can run your existing AP system tools without restrictions with the new ALLPRO batteries. ALLPRO thus combines the previous strengths of the AP system in a versatile battery platform for professional applications. This means maximum compatibility, more flexibility in the choice of power tool and a system that is ideally suited to growing requirements.
At STIHL, compatibility means that a battery fits into a wide range of different power tools - from chainsaws to cut-off machines. Smart Control precisely matches the power output of the battery and the power tool. Within the pro systems (AP and ALLPRO), chargers and devices are interchangeable in addition to the batteries.
For quick maintenance on small plots of land, we recommend the STIHL AS system. It is particularly compact and lightweight. If you have higher demands and a large garden and regularly plan extensive projects, the AK system with replacement batteries will provide even better support.
Your STIHL dealer will support you in finding the right battery system. We attach particular importance to personal advice and professional service.
“Plenty of stamina and at the same time very powerful. Lithium-ion batteries offer everything we need to handle longer periods of use and large areas with a high level of productivity.”
"It is clear: ALLPRO batteries do what they promise - and allow us to work optimally all day long."
