Developed in Germany: Engineered to Meet the Demands of Everyday Work
Designed and developed in Waiblingen, Germany, STIHL ALLPRO batteries are built on decades of product development experience and a strong understanding of real-world professional demands.
“We know very well how our products are used and what our customers need.”
Jürgen Häberlein, Head of STIHL Development
To meet these requirements, STIHL developed its own battery system - tailored to its own power tools, operating conditions and the highest quality standards.
Tested for Extreme Conditions. Built for Real Work.
Temperature Testing: Reliable Performance in Hot and Cold Conditions
Professional users count on their equipment in all types of conditions. That's why the STIHL ALLPRO Battery System is designed to provide dependable performance in temperatures of up to 122°F.
Thermal simulations are used early in the development process to evaluate battery performance under high-temperature conditions exceeding 122°F. Cold-weather testing is conducted in specialized climate chambers, and an integrated cold-start function helps ensure reliable operation in temperatures as low as -4°F.
Water-Resistant Battery Testing: Built to Handle Wet Conditions
The job doesn’t stop when conditions change, and neither do STIHL ALLPRO batteries. Engineered for professional use, ALLPRO batteries undergo rigorous environmental testing, including exposure to rain, splashing water, and moisture, to help deliver the reliable performance and durability professionals depend on every day.
Charge Cycle Testing: Built for Long-Lasting Performance
For professionals, long battery life is critical. That's why STIHL rigorously tests ALLPRO batteries through thousands of charge cycles.
The results demonstrate up to 3,000 charge cycles with minimal loss of performance, helping the ALLPRO battery system exceed industry standards for durability and reliability.
Field-Tested by Professionals: For Proven Reliability and Performance in Real-World Conditions
Extensive lab and bench testing are just the beginning. ALLPRO batteries are also field-tested by professionals in real-world working conditions to validate their performance, durability, and reliability on the job.
These evaluations also confirm the effectiveness of STIHL's intelligent charging system, which delivers fast, efficient charging while helping extend battery life. Only after successfully meeting STIHL's standards in development, laboratory testing, and real-world field use do ALLPRO batteries move into production.
Manufacturing and quality control
Every battery cell is carefully measured and tested during production to ensure consistent performance, including precise voltage matching. After the electronics and safety systems are integrated, compatibility with STIHL power tools is verified. Multiple inspections throughout the assembly process help ensure the highest standards of quality and safety.
Before leaving the factory, every battery undergoes a comprehensive final inspection to confirm it meets STIHL's standards for performance, durability, and reliability.

Questions and Answers
STIHL tests its batteries well beyond what is customary in the industry. This includes environmental, temperature, mechanical and long-term tests that represent typical and extreme conditions from everyday professional life. In addition, the batteries are tested in real-life use with professional users. This combination of development, testing and real-life is crucial for ensuring that STIHL batteries function reliably in daily use.
Laboratory and bench tests are a central component of development at STIHL, as they enable reproducible and controlled stress scenarios. At the same time, that alone is not enough. That’s why STIHL batteries are also tested for professional use. Only the interplay between technical testing and real-life use ensures that the batteries meet STIHL’s high quality standards.
The battery, power tool and charging system are designed to work optimally together. This affects performance, safety, service life and charging behaviour. One example of this is special STIHL battery technologies such as tabless technology, which is designed for high performance and efficiency. Such technological decisions can only be implemented meaningfully if all system components are considered together.
The service life of STIHL batteries depends on several factors: the cell technology used and intelligent charging and discharging management. Extensive charge cycle tests and precise quality control in production ensure that the batteries can be reliably used in professional applications for many years to come. Integrated safety functions also ensure compatibility with older STIHL power tools.
