Intelligent charging solutions for professionals
Designed for busy professional users, STIHL's intelligent charging solutions help keep large battery fleets organised, charged and ready to perform.

Energy that travels with you - mobile charging management
With STIHL mobile charging management, batteries can be charged wherever work takes place, whether in a vehicle or on site, eliminating the need to return to the workshop. This helps you and your team stay productive and flexible, even when working across multiple locations or during periods of high demand. Regular charging also reduces the number of battery packs needed to get through the working day, significantly reducing both the overall operational effore and the initial costs.
Ready to go all day long – stationary charging management
For organisations with large fleets and multiple teams, a reliable charging setup is essential. A central charging infrastructure in the depot or workshop ensures batteries are ready for use each day, helping teams leave on time with the equipment they need. By managing charging in one location, you can establish clear procedures and make it easier to keep all batteries safe ad secure.
Central charging cabinets and shelving systems help keep batteries organised, accessible and secure.. With the STIHL CM 8 Charging Management system, up to 32 batteries can be charged overnight from a single socket when used with compatible chargers. Its intelligent two-stage charging system allows up to eight chargers to be connected at once, automatically managing power distribution for reliable and efficient charging. Suitable for wall mounting, the CM 8 can also be combined with STIHL CR 6 charging racks to create a tidy, space-saving charging area in workshops and depots.

What professionals say about charging management with ALLPRO batteries
Frequently Asked Questions About Stihl Charging Solutions
Battery charging management is the process of organising how batteries are charged, stored and assigned across a business. It helps ensure batteries are fully charged, ready to use and allocated to the right team members and tools at the start of each working day. This reduces time spent searching for batteries, minimises downtime on site and helps keep operations running smoothly. Effective charging management can also extend battery life and improve the efficiency of your fleet.
As a general guideline, you should have at least one charging point for every battery in use, plus around 20% additional capacity. For example, if your business operates three teams with ten batteries each, a charging system with 36 to 40 charging points is recommended. Charging cabinets are a good option for growing businesses, as they can be expanded as your battery fleet increases.
It's also important to factor in spare batteries for shift changes and longer working days. For mobile charging, the STIHL PS 2000 portable power supply can fully charge approximately 5 x AP 300.0 P batteries, or 7 to 8 x AP 200.0 P batteries, helping to keep teams productive when working away from mains power.
A battery charging rack provides a dedicated place to store and charge batteries, helping to keep your workspace organised.
A charging management system helps streamline charging for larger battery fleets. For example, the STIHL CM 8 Charging Management system allows up to eight chargers and 32 batteries to be connected to a single socket, automatically managing the charging process through a two-stage charging system. This helps make charging more efficient and reduces the need for additional electrical infrastructure. For smaller operations with less than 15 batteries, a well-organised shelf is more than enough. But, If you have 20 or more batteries and several teams, it is well worth investing in a smart system that can help prevent downtime and extends battery life.
Yes, STIHL offers mobile charging solutions for charging in vehicles, such as the CB 1 charging box, or AL 1802 MO charger. These help make use of travel time, so batteries are charged and ready when you arrive on site. This is especially useful for teams travelling between multiple locations or working long days away from hte depot.
These solutions require a suitable vehicle circuit or inverter. Your STIHL dealer or our commercial solutions team can advise on the best solution for your needs.
To help maximise battery life, avoid storing batteries for long periods when fully charged or completely discharged. For longer-term storage, a charge level of around 40-60% is recommended. Regular charging after use and storing batteries in a cool, dry location can also help maintain performance over time. Using genuine STIHL chargers ensures batteries are charged correctly and safely, helping to protect their long-term health. For businesses managing multiple batteries, a structured charging setup can support consistent charging practices and battery care across teams.
Local authorities and other large organisations often benefit from a centralised charging and storage solution for their battery fleet. Battery charging cabinets provide a secure, organised space for storing and charging up to 32 batteries. Lockable doors and fire-resistant construction help support safe battery management, while structured storage makes it easier for teams to access the batteries they need. For organisations operating across multiple locations, a combination of stationary charging cabinets and mobile vehicle charging solutions can provide the flexibility to keep batteries ready for use wherever work takes place. STIHL Approved Dealers or our commercial solutions team can help recommend the most suitable setup for your business.
