Note on the battery system
On this page you can see tools and batteries from the AP system. With the launch of ALLPRO, we now have a new battery system that delivers next level power. With quick charging times and a longer working life, it is also 100% compatible with the previous AP system.
Based in the Chambéry metropolitan area in the French region of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, the eight employees of gardening and landscaping company Lileo Jardins do their work with cordless power tools and appreciate the benefits of them in everyday garden, landscape and tree maintenance.
Managing Director Julien Ferraris made the switch to cordless tools in stages. With a view to saving on fuel costs, Ferraris equipped the first team with cordless tools in 2019. Today, all Lileo Jardins teams work with cordless power tools. Around 85% of the tool fleet is electrically powered.
Advanced battery power makes professional work easier.
Initial scepticism about the performance and durability of the batteries was quickly overcome, as it became evident that STIHL's ALLPRO System has been developed with professional users in mind. Advancements in battery technology mean that new tools, batteries and charging systems are being developed all the time too. Julien Loquatelli, landscape gardener at Lileo Jardins, experiences no difficulties or limitations from using cordless power tools.
In fact, using the quiet, low-vibration and emissions-free power tools makes work more comfortable both for employees and people in the vicinity.
The professionals that we have spoken to identify seven essential requirements that they need battery power tools to meet.
The longer a battery lasts, the fewer batteries – and fewer battery changes – are needed during work so runtime is a key factor for professionals. STIHL offers the ideal battery for every task. From hedge trimmers to leaf blowers, it is possible to use all our cordless power tools continuously and for extended periods.
The quality of the batteries is crucial to professional users. STIHL develops and manufactures its own professional batteries directly in-house at its headquarters in Waiblingen. A look behind the scenes at our battery production illuminates how we achieve tried-and-tested STIHL quality in our professional batteries.
Cordless power tools have to be robust and powerful.
Batteries and cordless power tools must be durable enough to withstand intensive use in landscape, garden and tree maintenance, day after day. At STIHL, we align all of the battery components with this expectation and subject them to extensive tests during production.
To make the switch to cordless, professionals have to be confident their new battery-powered tools can provide the necessary power for the tasks they need to tackle. The STIHL AP System tools are designed to deliver the power that is needed to get the job done and are comparable with professional petrol powered tools.
Having different batteries for different tools makes work more complicated. Professional users need a simple solution tailored to their needs where the same batteries can be used in multiple tools and can be charged using the same chargers.
Thanks to innovative tabless cell technology and intelligent charging profiles, you can recharge the ALLPRO batteries in just 9 minutes1. This means you'll be up and running again in no time, reducing unnecessary wait times.
1 Time taken to reach 80% charge at ambient/battery temperatures of 25–40 °C when used with the AL 1802 MO. Applies to ALLPRO batteries AP 100.0 P, AP 200.0 P and AP 300.0 P(C).
Lileo Jardins switched its fleet to cordless tools at an early stage, which means it is already on track to meet the future legal requirements which will imminently take effect in France. Whilst there are currently no regulations around this in Great Britain, there are other efforts in motion around the world to accelerate the changeover to cordless, and it's possible this may be introduced in the future.
In Europe, the European Commission is working on the “Green Deal”. The overall goal of the planned measures is to reduce CO2 emissions by 55% by 2030 and to zero by 2050.
Among other actions, the RED II Renewable Energy Directive will be revised with the aim of increasing the proportion of renewable energies in the EU energy mix to 40%. This will be achieved by means of electrification as well as renewably sourced energy and fuels.
Our powerful, long-lasting batteries and innovative charging solutions mean that you'll always have the power you need even during long periods of work.
Professionals can quickly and easily find out which batteries and charging solutions are best suited to their own business using the STIHL battery advisor. This online tool identifies the best equipment for your tasks and your company in just a few steps.
To help you manage your tool fleet even more efficiently, the STIHL connected digital tool is a great solution. It makes it possible to continuously and reliably keep an eye on the status and location of all power tools in your fleet. The AR 2000/3000 L backpack batteries and the AP 300.0 P C battery all have our Connected technology built in, whereas other tools in your fleet can be easily monitored by adding a Smart Connector. This takes digital fleet management to the next level thanks to simple installation, reliable recording of operational time and engine speeds, as well as service reminders via the Connected app.
