The STIHL BRA 200 and BRA 280 battery-powered backpack blowers are the latest additions to STIHL’s battery-powered lineup, delivering constant power, smart features, and effortless operation. Both models are designed for professionals who need high performance without sacrificing comfort or maneuverability.
Engineered for reduced-noise operation, these blowers produce low sound pressure ratings—just 64 dB(A) for the BRA 200 and 66 dB(A) for the BRA 280—making them ideal for residential zones, schools, and other noise-sensitive environments. Each unit supports up to two AP 300 S batteries and features STIHL’s automatic sequential discharge system, which seamlessly switches between batteries to increase flexibility to the user who wants to tailor their physical workload and energy needs to the job.
With STIHL’s constant power technology, users experience consistent airflow from the first trigger pull to the last second of battery life—no fading, no lag. And with the BRA 280’s integrated handle mounted HMI display, operators gain real-time insights into battery status, speed settings, and service alerts, plus access to energy-saving modes through the STIHL Connected Portal. Whether you're clearing sidewalks at dawn or tackling large-scale landscaping projects, the BRA 200 and BRA 280 are built to keep pace with your day— powerfully and intelligently.
