Whether you manage a landscaping crew, municipal fleet, or facility maintenance team, keeping batteries charged and equipment ready is critical to staying productive. STIHL charging solutions help you organize, charge, and manage your battery fleet with confidence. You'll always know which batteries are ready to go, so your team can start the day powered up and prepared for the work ahead.

The STIHL Mobile Charging System is a solution that allows you to charge batteries in your vehicle or on the jobsite, reducing trips back to the shop and helping crews stay productive throughout the day. Frequent charging opportunities can also help reduce the number of batteries needed in your fleet, lowering upfront costs.
For businesses managing multiple crews and a growing battery fleet, a centralized charging setup can help keep operations running smoothly. By charging, storing, and managing batteries in one location, teams can start every day with equipment that's charged, organized, and ready to work.
Central charging cabinets and shelving systems create order and safety. With STIHL CM 12 Charging Management, you can charge up to 48 batteries from a single socket overnight without the need for a qualified electrician. Three priority slots ensure your most important batteries are ready to go first thing in the morning, while secure storage helps protect them and keeps your team informed about what’s charged and ready to go.
Your local STIHL Dealer can help you select, configure, and implement the right charging solution for your business—from mobile charging setups to larger fleet management systems.
Battery charging management is the process of organizing how batteries are charged, stored, and assigned across your team. It helps ensure batteries are charged, ready for the right tools, and available when crews need them. The result is less downtime, less time spent searching for batteries, and longer battery life.
As a rule of thumb: at least one charging station for each battery used, plus 20% reserve. For example, with three fleets of 10 batteries each, a central charging system with 36 to 40 charging points is recommended. Modular charging cabinets are ideal for growing businesses, as they can be gradually expanded. It is also important to plan in backup batteries for shift changes or particularly long working days.
Approximately five AP 300.0 P or seven to eight AP 200.0 P batteries can be fully charged with the mobile PS 2000 power station.
A simple charging rack provides physical storage spaces with chargers, but it does not show an overview of the charge level of individual batteries. An intelligent charging management system monitors each battery individually and displays the charge level directly. It can also optimize the charging sequence according to priority. For smaller operations with fewer than 15 batteries, a structured shelf is often sufficient. If you have 20 or more batteries and several teams, it is worth investing in a smart system that prevents downtime and extends battery life.
Yes. STIHL mobile charging solutions let you safely charge batteries while traveling between jobsites, helping crews arrive with batteries ready to work. Depending on your vehicle, this may require a compatible electrical system or inverter. Your authorized STIHL dealer can help you choose the right setup.
Batteries should not be stored permanently at 100% or at deep discharge. A charge level of 40% to 80% is ideal for longer storage. Regular charging after each use and storage in a cool and dry place significantly extends the service life. The use of genuine STIHL chargers is also important. Intelligent charging systems can also help manage these practices automatically.
Municipal fleets often benefit from a centralized charging system with high-capacity charging cabinets that securely store and charge multiple batteries in one location. For crews working in the field, combining stationary charging with mobile vehicle charging helps keep equipment powered throughout the day. Your authorized STIHL dealer can help design the right solution for your fleet.
Yes. With the right high-speed chargers, you can quickly recharge selected STIHL battery systems from ALLPRO batteries—for example, during breaks between uses. With the STIHL AL 1602 MO high-speed charger you can reach 80% in just 10 minutes.*
