Stihl has introduced its most powerful battery yet, the AR 3000 backpack battery. Interchangeable with all handheld tools in the Stihl Battery Line, the sleek AR 3000 has 25% more capacity than the Stihl AR 900, running for up to 13 hours and eliminating exhaust emissions and fuel costs. (NOTE: Runtime varies by product and application.)
“Tasks like trimming, pruning and blowing are all done with ease using the AR 3000,” said Brian Manke, product manager at Stihl Inc. “This innovative battery allows professionals to maximize their time on-site and can be used in environmentally or noise-sensitive areas like school grounds, business districts or hospitals.”
Recharging the AR 3000 to 100% capacity takes only 160 minutes when used with the Stihl AL 500 high-speed charger — five times faster than many other backpack batteries on the market, Stihl assures.
Other key features of the AR 3000 Backpack Battery include:
- 36 volts
- 1,148 watt-hours
- Audible and visual recharge alerts
- Rain cover
- Sturdy housing and durable base plate
- Ergonomic design with comfortable shoulder straps, hip belt and chest strap distributes weight evenly
