Description
Why buy the STIHL AS 2 10.8 V Battery?
- Powerful and lightweight 10.8 V, 28 Wh Lithium-Ion battery
- Compatible with all tools in the STIHL AS System range
- Extremely lightweight and compact, weighing just 0.22 kg
- Intelligent electronics provide constant power output during use
- IPX4 rated for splashwater protection and use in all weathers
The STIHL AS 2 is a high-quality 10.8 V Lithium-Ion battery engineered to power the STIHL AS System range of compact cordless tools. Weighing just 0.22 kg, its lightweight and compact design ensures that tools remain perfectly balanced and comfortable to use for extended periods.
A key feature of the AS 2 battery is its intelligent battery management system. This technology ensures a constant level of power is delivered to the tool, regardless of whether the battery is fully charged or nearly depleted. This prevents the gradual drop in performance often seen with other battery systems, allowing for consistent results from start to finish. Please note that the AS 2 battery is not compatible with the older HSA 25 shrub shears.
Power and Durability
STIHL has engineered the AS System batteries to be extremely durable and resistant, suitable for demanding applications. The long-life battery cell technology combined with the robust housing ensures reliability and longevity. Furthermore, the battery is IPX4 certified for splashwater protection, making it a reliable power source for daily use, even in rainy conditions.
Charging Information
The AS 2 battery can be charged using compatible chargers from the STIHL range, with charging times varying by model.
| Charger Model | Charge Time (to 100%) |
|---|---|
