Q: Which ALLPRO batteries are equipped with tabless cell technology?

The tabless cell technology is in the three batteries of the ALLPRO Performance series : the AP 100.0 P, the AP 200.0 P, and the AP 300.0 P(C). The "P" in the name is deliberately chosen for "Performance" – and that is exactly what these batteries deliver: consistently high power, fast charging in just 9 minutes * , and a service life of over 3,000 charging cycles ** . The two batteries AP 20.1 and AP 30.1 are also part of the ALLPRO system, but rely on proven lithium-ion batteries without tabless technology. *Time to reach 80% charge at ambient/battery temperatures of 25–40 °C in combination with the AL 1802 MO. Valid for the ALLPRO batteries AP 100.0 P, AP 200.0 P and AP 300.0 P(C). **Up to 3,000 cycles without noticeable loss of power; can still be used afterwards. Valid only for ALLPRO batteries AP 100.0 P, AP 200.0 P and AP 300.0 P(C).

Q: Are the ALLPRO batteries compatible with my existing AP tools?

Yes – the ALLPRO batteries are fully compatible with all tools in the STIHL AP system . This means: You can insert the new batteries directly into over 80 tools without having to change anything in your existing range. Your previous investment in AP tools is therefore fully protected. The same applies to charging: Existing STIHL chargers from the AP system continue to work with the ALLPRO batteries. For full charging performance – especially fast charging in just 9 minutes * – we recommend the AL 1802 MO. *Time to reach 80% charge at ambient/battery temperatures of 25–40 °C in combination with the AL 1802 MO.

Question 1

Is the investment in ALLPRO batteries really worth it?

Accepted Answer

For everyone who works with battery-powered tools daily or intensively, the answer is clearly: yes. The decisive advantage lies in the exceptional service life – the three Performance batteries last for over 3,000 charging cycles without any noticeable loss of power^*. This means fewer new purchases, lower operating costs, and more planning security over the years.

In addition, there is full compatibility with all existing AP tools: Anyone who has already invested in the STIHL AP system does not need to build up a new fleet of tools – the ALLPRO batteries simply continue working where the previous ones left off, only with significantly more power.

You can easily calculate how economical the ALLPRO system is for your business yourself using the STIHL battery cost calculator.

Question 3

Is the AP 500 S more powerful than the AP 300.0 P?

Accepted Answer

A clear no. The AP 300.0 P offers higher performance with the same runtime as the AP 500 S. In addition, the AP 300.0 P charges faster and is therefore worthwhile from an economic perspective.

Question 4

How do ALLPRO batteries achieve their high performance?

Accepted Answer

The previous batteries of the AP system were based on a nominal voltage of 36 V. With ALLPRO, the maximum voltage of 40 V is reached when the battery is fully charged.

The higher voltage is related to the further developed tabless cell technology and contributes to the increased performance of the system^*.

At the same time, compatibility is maintained: ALLPRO batteries, chargers and tools remain coordinated with each other.

Question 6

Which ALLPRO battery is right for my tools and my application?

Accepted Answer

That depends primarily on how long and how intensively you work. As a rule of thumb: The higher the capacity, the longer the runtime between two charging cycles and the more powerful the battery for demanding tasks such as cutting dense wood or long brushcutter operations.

The three performance batteries AP 100.0 P, AP 200.0 P and AP 300.0 P(C) are aimed at everyone who needs maximum power and short charging times. For lighter work or as a compact addition, the models AP 20.1 and AP 30.1 are suitable.

Question 10

How do ALLPRO batteries achieve their high performance?

Accepted Answer

The high performance of the ALLPRO batteries is primarily based on tabless cell technology. This features in the performance series of ALLPRO batteries (AP 100.0 P, AP 200.0 P and AP 300.0 P (C) ) and delivers consistently high continuous and peak power, high-speed charging and over 3,000 charging cycles^*. The AP 20.1 and AP 30.1 models rely on tried-and-tested lithium-ion cells.

^{* Up to 3,000 charging cycles without noticeable deterioration. Still usable beyond this point. Only valid for AP 100.0 P, AP 200.0 P and AP 300.0 P(C).}

Question 11

Which ALLPRO battery is right for me?

Accepted Answer

This depends on how long you are working for and what jobs you are doing: the greater the capacity, the longer the working time and the more demanding tasks the battery can handle.

The AP 20.1 and AP 30.1 battery models have been developed directly from the tried-and-tested AP system – they are a great value choice for anyone who already owns STIHL battery power tools and can do without high-speed charging. The AP 100.0 P is ideal for tools where you need lower weight such as battery hedge trimmers. The AP 200.0 P is the all-rounder for most machines, such as the MSA 200 chainsaw. The AP 300.0 P (C) delivers maximum working times and performance for all-day and intensive use, such as tree maintenance or on the construction site.

Question 12

Can I try the ALLPRO batteries and power tools before buying?

Accepted Answer

We certainly recommend visiting your local STIHL Approved Dealer to feel the weight and balance for your yourself. They can provide you with tailored advice and explain the tools in detail. Some of our dealers also offer a Try Before You Buy option with professional battery tools too so ask them about that when you visit.

Question 13

What is the ALLPRO battery system?

Accepted Answer

The ALLPRO battery system is the next generation of STIHL batteries for professional use. They are the same size and shape as the previous AP batteries but with added benefits. There are five batteries in two series: The standard series (AP 20.1 and AP 30.1 ) is based on tried-and-tested lithium-ion cells and is an inexpensive entry into the system. The performance series (AP 100.0 P, AP 200.0 P and AP 300.0 P (C) ) relies on tabless cell technology for more peak performance, fast charging and a particularly long service life. All ALLPRO batteries are fully compatible with the AP System and over 80 power tools.

Question 14

Is the AP 500 S more powerful than the AP 300.0 P?

Accepted Answer

No, the AP 300.0 P offers higher power with almost the same working time as the AP 500 S. In addition, the AP 300.0 P charges faster, making it a great investment.
