STIHL ALLPRO Batteries: The Future of Professional Cordless Power

The future of jobsite power did not arrive in a flying truck. It arrived in a black-and-orange battery with very little patience for downtime.

Launching in August 2026, and available for pre-order RIGHT NOW, the STIHL ALLPRO Battery System is the next generation of STIHL professional cordless power. It brings new battery technology, faster charging, long service life, tougher weather protection, and compatibility with the STIHL AP tools many crews already own. In other words, you can step into the future without sending your current equipment to the tool graveyard.

There are six ALLPRO batteries, and they are not simply small, medium, and large versions of the same pack. Two use proven standard cells, four use new tabless cells, and one adds connected fleet features. Here is what changes, and which battery makes sense for your work.

Every ALLPRO battery operates at 36 volts nominal and up to 40V MAX. Those numbers describe the same battery platform: 36V is its normal working voltage, while 40V MAX is the peak measured immediately after charging.

The bigger story is inside the Performance Series batteries. Traditional cells move current through small metal tabs. STIHL’s tabless design lets energy travel across more of the cell, reducing resistance and heat while supporting higher output and much faster charging.

That translates into advantages crews can actually use:

1. CONSTANT POWER: Helps compatible tools maintain strong performance as the battery discharges instead of gradually feeling tired near the end of a charge.
2. POWER BOOST: Allows compatible batteries and tools to communicate and provide more power when a cut or heavy load demands it.
3. Fast charging: Performance Series batteries can reach 80% charge in about 10 minutes under STIHL’s specified temperature conditions when paired with the AL 1602 MO charger.
4. Long service life: STIHL rates the Performance Series for up to 3,000 charging cycles without noticeable performance loss, with continued use possible beyond that point.
5. Jobsite weather protection: The AP 20.1 and AP 30.1 are IPX4 rated, while the Performance Series batteries carry stronger IPX5 protection.
6. AP System compatibility: ALLPRO batteries work with more than 60 existing STIHL AP tools, though the recommended battery depends on the tool.

STIHL also reports up to 60% higher output when comparing the AP 300.0 P and P C with the AP 300 S. That claim does not apply equally to every battery in the lineup, but it shows what the new tabless design can do at the high end.

1. The AP 20.1 delivers 144 Wh in a 2.9-pound package. It is the battery for users who value low weight and easy handling more than maximum runtime.
2. It makes sense for lighter-duty hedge trimming, pruning, spraying, cleanup, and quick service work with compatible AP tools. If you spend hours holding a tool at shoulder height, a lighter battery is not a small detail, it is the difference between finishing comfortably and negotiating with your elbows by lunch.
3. The AP 20.1 uses standard lithium-ion cells rather than the tabless design found in the P Series. It still includes POWER BOOST, CONSTANT POWER, cold-start capability, a four-LED charge indicator, and IPX4 splash resistance.
4. Think of it as the approachable entry point to ALLPRO, not the battery for the system’s most power-hungry equipment.

1. With 270 Wh, the AP 30.1 is the long-running option on the standard-cell side of the lineup. It is built for users who want more time between charges but do not necessarily need the extreme output or rapid-charging advantages of a P Series battery.
2. This is a practical choice for extended trimming, blowing, hedge work, pole pruning, mowing, and general property maintenance with compatible equipment. It should appeal to crews that want dependable capacity and broad versatility without automatically buying the flagship battery.
3. Like the AP 20.1, it carries an IPX4 rating and works with STIHL ALLPRO/AP tools. Its larger capacity adds weight, so the best choice comes down to the tool: lighter batteries improve handling, while higher-capacity packs reduce battery changes.

1. The AP 100.0 P has the lowest energy capacity in the lineup at 111 Wh, but that does not make it the least capable. This compact Performance Series battery uses tabless cells to prioritize high output, fast charging, and a strong power-to-weight ratio.
2. It is a smart match for arborists, landscapers, and maintenance professionals using compatible tools for short, demanding tasks. Picture pruning from a lift, shaping hedges, making quick cuts, or handling punch-list work where every ounce matters and a fast recharge is more useful than carrying the largest pack available.
3. The AP 100.0 P also brings IPX5 water protection, optimized cold-weather performance, POWER BOOST, and CONSTANT POWER.
4. It is the sports car of the family: smaller fuel tank, plenty of punch.

1. At 222 Wh, the AP 200.0 P lands in the lineup’s sweet spot. It pairs tabless cell technology with enough capacity for meaningful runtime without moving all the way to the heaviest battery.
2. For many crews, this will be the grab-it-first option for compatible chainsaws, blowers, trimmers, hedge trimmers, and pole pruners. It is designed for workers who may change tools several times in a day but would rather not change battery platforms, or babysit a charger.
3. The AP 200.0 P adds IPX5 protection, rapid-charging capability, cold-weather performance, and the long cycle life of the Performance Series.
4. If you want one battery that balances handling, runtime, and next-generation technology, start here.

1. The AP 300.0 P is the high-capacity Performance Series battery, packing 333 Wh for demanding applications and longer work sessions.
2. This is the battery to consider for compatible high-output chainsaws, blowers, cut-off machines, mowers, and other equipment that can put a smaller pack on a strict lunch schedule. Its tabless cells are built to move power efficiently under load, while CONSTANT POWER helps the tool stay productive deeper into the charge.
3. The tradeoff is simple: more capacity means more weight. For handheld detail work, a smaller battery may feel better. For heavy cutting, clearing, or all-day grounds work, fewer battery changes may matter more.

1. The AP 300.0 P C delivers the same high-capacity, tabless-cell approach as the AP 300.0 P and adds STIHL Connected capability.
2. That “C” matters most to businesses managing a battery fleet. Connected features can help crews monitor usage and manage equipment more efficiently instead of relying on the classic fleet-management method of asking, “Who had this last?”
3. For a one-person operation, the standard AP 300.0 P may provide everything needed. For landscaping companies, municipalities, campuses, and large grounds crews, the AP 300.0 P C adds useful visibility to serious cordless power.

1. A fast battery is only as useful as the charger waiting back at the truck or shop. The AL 1602 MO is the high-speed charging partner for compatible ALLPRO Performance Series batteries, designed to reduce downtime between jobs.
2. When paired with compatible ALLPRO Performance Series batteries, it can reach 80% charge in about 10 minutes under specified conditions. That changes the battery math for a working crew. Instead of buying a mountain of packs to survive the day, a well-planned rotation can put freshly charged batteries back into service while the next ones recharge.
3. Batteries and chargers are sold separately, so remember to include charging capacity when planning a new fleet.

1. Choose the AP 20.1 for low weight, lighter tools, and shorter tasks.
2. Choose the AP 30.1 for longer runtime and standard-cell value.
3. Choose the AP 100.0 P for the lightest Performance Series option and fast, demanding work.
4. Choose the AP 200.0 P for the best all-around balance for daily professional use.
5. Choose the AP 300.0 P for maximum runtime and high-demand equipment.
6. Choose the AP 300.0 P C when you need AP 300-level performance plus connected fleet management.

Always check STIHL’s tool-and-battery compatibility recommendations before pairing a battery with a specific machine. A battery may physically fit while a different model delivers better performance, balance, or runtime.

The most important part of STIHL ALLPRO may be what it does next.

The new batteries are backward-compatible with existing STIHL AP equipment, so current users can upgrade without replacing an entire tool fleet. Beginning in 2027, ALLPRO is also planned to extend into compatible professional Kärcher cleaning equipment, bringing landscaping and cleaning tools onto one shared battery platform.

That is what makes ALLPRO feel bigger than another battery launch. The standard batteries cover practical everyday work. The P Series brings tabless power, fast charging, and longer service life. The P C model adds fleet intelligence. The AL 1602 MO charger ties the rotation together.

The future is not simply cordless. It is faster to charge, easier to manage, tougher in bad weather, and flexible enough to power more of the equipment professionals use every day.

And this time, the future is compatible with tools already sitting in the trailer.
