STIHL battery development | Behind the scenes

Amazing stuff

[@chriv8429]

The concrete mixer is cool for testing. 😀

I don’t like the lack of choice in the matter. The batteries might be the future, but I don’t like how some governments are forcing it. Let the better tool win.

Will Stihl disclose how much of their battery products and batteries are from Greenworks?..... 🤔

[@namulit]

Even if the AS batteries are probably not developed by Stihl itself, will there be higher capacity ones? Stihl is expanding the AS lineup - please make better batteries too!

Multiple batterirs failed ap300s brother and i brought one each for power tools and they both failed a month out of warranty. Mine was lightly used in a leaf blower and he had 3 batteries for whipper snipper so they were never worked hard and still failed. I have multiple makita batteries over 10 years and never had a failure.

I have the MSA300 and 4 AP500 S batteries, they fail way, way short for this machine in a professional use, same applies if I use the FSA135. The machines are superb, batteries are not.

I would you rather develop new small gas engines. Small 4 strokes and more fuel injection engines like the 500i chainsaw. I don’t want battery powered tools. I’m not alone. 🙄

[@TheOne24115]

Many of these new battery powered tools are actually really good, have you tried them?

[@chrisb9478]

@@TheOne24115 Nope & don’t care to 😁

[@abirchtwig9551]

And I want battery tools, I know also I not alone. I build log houses for a living and have the msa 300. And it works like a charm. It more power fulI than any 50cc, but I can say eats battery so runtime is a little bit worst. But that not problem for me when the chargers are always on my worksite. Another good thing with the msa 300 is we finally have proper chainsaw saw for indoors work.

Not alone but a definitely a minority, in reality nobody would use 4stroke in a handheld situation, more weight, less power, less rpm, oil problems when run upside down and more moving parts, probably even more expensive Injection will probably come in more pro models Battery powered is rightfully the main path of development and already really good If you have the chance to try some out, take it Except msa 300 everything else I've tested, I wouldn't even consider buying the gas model in the same power range to many advantages of battery powered tools in low and medium power applications

@@chrisb9478 - can't really make intelligent comments unless you've objectively tried the alternative then, can you? The market is going battery - no one is developing new gas engines in this market space. I have a friend who runs a large landscaping / maintenance business with 100% battery tools. Nearly zero maintenance, and gets a ton of government and strata contracts because their gear is so quiet and not belching out blue smoke.
