Stihl AP 500 S Battery Provides More Power And Longer Service Life
Although Stihl still embraces gas power with many of its modern tools, the brand also offers battery-powered options to fit the needs of consumers who prefer to shop electric. The release of the AP 300 S battery updated Stihl’s initial battery formula, and now the Stihl AP 500 S Pouch Cell Battery advances that tech even more. The question is: what improvements does it bring to the table?
Stihl AP 500 S Pouch Cell Battery Performance
- Model: Stihl AP 500 S
- 9.4Ah capacity
- Power Laminate Technology provides more service life
- Up to 2500-cycle life
The AP 500 S 36V battery has a 9.4Ah capacity. Stihl claims it doubles the service life and charging cycles of the AP 300 S battery, using its power laminate technology to provide up to a 2500-cycle life. This battery features 40% more power output and 20% more capacity than its predecessor.
Stihl AP 500 S Pouch Cell Battery Design Notes
- Lightweight and balanced
- 4.2 lbs
- Robust, weatherproof design
- Compatible with most Stihl AP-System tools
- Compatible with Stihl Connected fleet management system
The Stihl AP 500 S battery weighs slightly more than the previous model, at 4.2 pounds compared to the AP 300 S’s 3.96 pounds. Since it provides more power and has a higher capacity, it’s no surprise that it’s gained a bit of heft. Even still, this almost negligible ~0.2-pound jump is a small step up in weight that should be far from a dealbreaker for most.
Plus, thanks to this battery’s robust, weatherproof design, Stihl tells us you can use it in any weather.
The AP 500 S battery is compatible with almost any Stihl AP-System tool. You can also connect the Stihl Connected smart fleet management system to keep track of battery life for your whole crew.
