Battery-powered tools by Stihl make an excellent gift for the ones in your life who work out doors whether it is a birthday, Father’s Day, or an ‘I Love You’ present. These quiet, efficient tools are ideal for working in areas where loud noises would be disruptive. Since they run off electric batteries, there are no cords to worry about or smelly fuel emissions.
Stihl Lithium Batteries
An invaluable characteristic of Stihl’s battery powered equipment is that the batteries provide power at 100% efficiency until the battery is depleted, instead of losing power as the battery drains. The engines run clean with no exhaust, making battery-powered equipment an environmentally friendly choice. In addition, Stihl’s Lithium-Ion batteries are designed to be interchangeable between Battery KombiSystem tools, meaning the same batteries can be charged and used to power a wide range of tools.
Trimmers
Stihl offers two battery-powered trimmers: the FSA 65 and the FSA 85. Both feature quiet engines that are perfect for working in areas with noise restrictions. The FSA 65 is designed for homeowner use. It weighs 8.3 pounds without the battery, 9.5 with the battery, and will run for up to 70 minutes. The FSA 85 is more powerful for professional use, and runs up to 35 minutes on a single charge. It weighs 8.7 pounds without the battery and 9.9 pounds with battery.
Hedge Trimmer
Four times quieter than a gas-powered trimmer, the HSA 65 has a high cutting speed of 3,000 strokes per minute and a 20-inch blade. It weighs just 11.6 pounds with the battery installed and will run for up to 85 minutes with Stihl’s AP 180 battery.
Chainsaw
The MSA 160 C-BQ is a powerful little chainsaw that will run for 35 minutes on a single charge. It is more quiet than a standard chainsaw, but is still powerful enough for cleaning up after a storm, cutting firewood, or carpentry tasks. Like other battery-powered equipment, this chainsaw is easier to maintain than a gas-powered equivalent. It also features a convenient Quick Chain Adjuster to adjust the chain tension without extra tools.
Blower
BGA 85 blower is a lightweight but powerful hand-held blower suitable for homeowners or professional use in areas where noise is an issue. It weighs 7 pounds without the battery, and 10.8 pounds with the battery installed. This battery-powered blower delivers an air velocity of 102 miles per hour.
Mower
A newer addition to Stihl’s line of battery-powered tools is the RMA 370 walk-behind mower. It has a 14-inch cutting deck and is very maneuverable in tight spaces. It will run quietly for up to 28 minutes on a single charge, and the battery will recharge in 30 minutes.
