STIHL AP / AR Batteries & Chargers

STIHL offers two advanced battery systems—AP and AR—designed to meet different power and runtime needs. The AP System includes compact, high-performance lithium-ion batteries like the AP 500 S, which are lightweight and slide directly into compatible STIHL tools, making them ideal for professional landscapers and homeowners looking for a balance of power and convenience. The AR System, on the other hand, consists of backpack batteries that provide significantly longer runtimes, making them perfect for all-day use in demanding applications such as large-scale landscaping or municipal work. AR batteries are worn on the back and connected to tools via a cable, reducing tool weight and increasing operational efficiency. Both systems are compatible with STIHL’s range of fast chargers, ensuring minimal downtime. Whether you need portability and versatility with the AP System or extended power with the AR System, STIHL’s battery lineup delivers reliable, emission-free performance for any outdoor task.
