What to do if my Stihl BGA 100 battery isn't charging but the charger LED is green?

  If the battery of your Stihl Blower is not being charged even though the LED on the charger glows green, the battery may be too hot or too cold (1 LED on the battery glows red). Allow the battery to cool down or warm up slowly to temperatures between 15°C and 20°C (60°F - 70°F). Ensure you operate the charger in enclosed, dry rooms with ambient temperatures between +5°C and +40°C (+40°F and +105°F).

  Your Stihl blower might not start due to several reasons: * There may be no electrical contact between the connecting cord and the blower or battery. To solve this, disconnect the cord, inspect it and the contacts, and then reconnect it. * The battery might have a low charge, indicated by one green LED flashing. In this case, charge the battery. * The battery could be too hot or too cold, indicated by one red LED glowing. Allow the battery to cool down or warm up slowly to about 15°C - 20°C (60°F - 70°F). * There might be a fault in the battery, shown by four red LEDs flashing. Disconnect and reconnect the cord; if the LEDs continue to flash, replace the battery. * The blower itself might be too hot, indicated by three red LEDs glowing. Let the blower cool down. * An electroma...

  If your Stihl Blower doesn't start, several issues could be the cause. First, check the electrical connection between the cord, battery, and blower, ensuring everything is properly connected. Next, verify the battery charge level; if low (indicated by one green flashing LED), charge the battery. The battery might be too hot or cold (one red LED), so allow it to reach a temperature between 15°C and 20°C (60°F - 70°F). If four LEDs on the battery flash red, disconnect and reconnect the cord; if flashing continues, the battery is faulty and needs replacement. If three LEDs glow red, the blower is too hot and needs to cool down. In case of electromagnetic issues or blower fault (three red flashing LEDs), disconnect and reconnect the cord; if the issue persists, a servicing dealer should check ...

  If the battery is not being charged even though the LED on the charger glows green, it could be because the battery is too hot or too cold. Allow the battery to cool down or warm up slowly at temperatures of about 15°C - 20°C (60°F - 70°F). Operate the charger only in closed, dry rooms at ambient temperatures of +5°C - +40°C (40°F - 104°F).

What to do if LED on Stihl Blower charger flashes red?
- R
  Ronald BryantSep 12, 2025
  If the LED on your Stihl blower charger flashes red, it could be due to a few reasons. First, there might be no electrical contact between the charger and the battery. Try removing the battery and refitting it. Second, there could be a fault in the battery, indicated by four LEDs flashing red for about 5 seconds. Remove the battery, refit it, and switch on the charger. If the LEDs continue to flash, the battery has a malfunction and should be replaced. Finally, there may be a fault in the charger itself, in which case you should have it checked by your servicing dealer.
