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 battery power tools – and are enthusiastic about the benefits of them in everyday landscape and tree maintenance.
Managing Director Julien Ferraris made the switch to battery tools in stages. On the grounds of electric engines’ higher efficiency and 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 battery power tools. Around 85 percent 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 advanced cordless power tools are certainly also suitable for professional requirements. Julien Loquatelli, landscape gardener at Lileo Jardins, experiences no difficulties or limitations from using cordless power tools.
On the contrary in fact:working with them makes the advantages of battery power clear. The quiet, low-vibration and emissions-free power tools make work more comfortable both for employees and people in the vicinity.
Professionals 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 battery power tools continuously and for extended periods.
The quality of the batteries used is crucial in the professional context. STIHL develops and manufactures its own professional batteries, among other things, directly in-house at its headquarters in Waiblingen, Germany. A look behind the scenes at our battery production illuminates how we achieve tried-and-tested STIHL quality in our professional batteries.
Battery power tools have to be robust and powerful.
Battery power tools must be durable enough to withstand intensive use in landscape, garden and tree maintenance, day after day. STIHL aligns all components with this expectation and subjects them to extensive tests during production.
To make the switch to battery, professionals have to be confident their new battery-powered tools can provide the necessary power for the tasks they need to tackle. With its recommended battery tool and battery combinations, STIHL also delivers real professional power in the cordless sector.
Having different connections for different tools makes work more complicated. Professional users need a simple solution tailored to their needs. At STIHL, that professional solution is the ALLPRO-System.
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. Because there are already worldwide efforts in motion to accelerate the changeover to cordless.
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 percent 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 percent. This will be achieved by means of electrification as well as renewably sourced energy and fuels.
Furthermore, using conventional fuels is set to become significantly more expensive in the future. These planned activities for CO2 reduction will also accelerate the switchover to battery on economic grounds.
Powerful, long-lasting batteries and innovative charging solutions ensure that power is reliably available 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 optimal equipment for your tasks and your company in just a few steps.
The STIHL connected digital tool makes it possible to continuously and reliably keep an eye on the status and location of all power tools in your fleet. Currently, networking is also possible for the AR 2000/3000 L backpack batteries and the AP 300.0 P C battery. All other power tools in the fleet can be integrated by adding a Smart Connector 2 A. This takes digital fleet management to the next level thanks to simple installation, reliable recording of operational time and engine speeds, as well as even more precise reporting. With digital fleet management via STIHL connected, professionals now and in the future can have control over their entire tool fleet.
