Product Information

Full details

The Stihl AP 20 is a 36V, 144Wh lithium-ion battery designed for homeowners, landscapers, and professionals who require reliable, consistent power for the Stihl AP System. Its primary benefit is the intelligent battery management system that ensures constant power output regardless of charge level, making it ideal for lighter gardening and landscaping tasks; however, its 144Wh capacity means it is best suited for shorter, less demanding jobs compared to higher-capacity alternatives in the AP series.

FAQs

Can I use the AP 20 with all Stihl tools?

The AP 20 is designed for the Stihl AP System. Always verify that your specific tool is listed as part of the AP System line.

How long does it take to charge?

Charging time depends on the charger used. The AL 101 charger will take longer to charge the battery compared to the AL 501 quick charger.

Is the AP 20 waterproof?

The battery is IPX4-rated, meaning it is splash-proof and can handle typical wet weather conditions, but it is not waterproof and should not be submerged.

Does the battery lose power as it runs out?

No, the intelligent battery management system ensures that the power output remains constant until the battery is nearly depleted.

Can I store the battery in my shed during winter?

While it can operate in cold temperatures, it is best to store the battery in a climate-controlled area to prolong its overall lifespan.

Troubleshooting

Battery will not charge when connected to the charger.

Check the contacts on the battery and the charger for debris. Ensure the power outlet is functioning and the charger is properly seated.

Battery displays no LED lights when the button is pressed.

The battery may be in deep sleep mode or fully depleted. Place it on the charger for a full cycle to wake the management system.

Tool stops unexpectedly during use in cold weather.

The battery may have exceeded its operating temperature safety limit. Move the battery to a warmer area and allow it to reach ambient temperature before attempting to operate.
