Dramatically reduce charging times for your STIHL cordless tools. The AL 501 is a powerful 12A high-speed charger designed for both professional and domestic users of the AK and AP battery systems, ensuring you’re back to work faster.
The STIHL AL 501 is a premium high-speed charger designed to minimise downtime for users of the extensive STIHL AK and AP cordless battery systems. Delivering a powerful 12 A charging current, it significantly reduces the time required to get batteries back to full capacity. This makes it an essential accessory for professional users who rely on their tools throughout the day, or domestic users with multiple batteries for various garden tasks.
The charger incorporates an intelligent two-stage charging process to protect battery health. It begins by charging at a constant current and then switches to a constant voltage, automatically reducing the current until the battery is full. A built-in fan provides active battery cooling during the process, preventing overheating and ensuring both safety and longevity for your valuable STIHL batteries. Once fully charged, the unit automatically switches off to prevent overcharging.
Designed for convenience, the AL 501 can be easily mounted on a wall to save valuable workspace and create a tidy charging station. It also features a built-in cable tie with a Velcro strap, allowing the power cord to be neatly wound and secured, preventing clutter and potential trip hazards.
