STIHL EXPAND PRO BATTERY CAPABILITY
Launch of new AR 1000

STIHL have expanded their battery range with introduction of the new AR 1000 lithium-ion backpack battery, the lightest featured in its PRO cordless range.


AR 1000

 

Weighing 5.5kg, the company says the slim ergonomic design allows the weight to be carried closer to the operators back, making it more comfortable during operation, particularly over longer periods. Also, the attachable rain cover means its use is not dictated by weather conditions.

A comfortable harness with a waist and chest strap come as standard and the new design includes a USB port to allow the user to charge devices such as mobile phones.

The battery backpack enables the extended use of STIHL cordless products such as hedge trimmers, blowers & brush cutters.

STIHL say the AR 1000 is suitable for use in conjunction with the new HSA 94 R and T hedge trimmers, affording them a runtime of up to 380 minutes on a single charge. The FSA 130 and 130 R brush cutters can also run for up to 230 minutes, with the BGA 100 blower running for up to 225 minutes.

When used in conjunction with the AL 500 charger, the AR 1000 backpack battery can be charged in two hours.

The new battery backpack also has a six LED charge display status, enabling users to monitor the charge level to know how much operation time is left before needing to re-charge the unit.

The STIHL backpack is available exclusively from more than 700 STIHL Approved Dealerships nationwide. The AR 1000 has a recommended retail price of £630 including VAT.
