  Kristen MiddletonSep 5, 2025
  If your Stihl Cordless Saw battery is not charging, it might be too hot or too cold. Leave the battery in the charger, and the charging process will begin automatically once it reaches the correct temperature range. Another cause may be no electrical contact between the charger and battery; in this case, remove the battery, clean the contacts on the charger, and re-fit the battery. If these steps do not resolve the issue, there may be a malfunction in either the charger or the battery, and you should contact your STIHL dealer for assistance.

  If the cutting performance of your Stihl Pole Saw is declining, there are several potential causes. It could be due to a low battery charge, in which case you should charge the battery. The saw chain might not be correctly sharpened; ensure it is sharpened as specified. Over-tensioning of the saw chain can also reduce performance; adjust the tension as specified. Insufficient chain lubrication can be another factor; make sure to lubricate the saw chain adequately. Finally, the battery might not be fully charged; ensure it is fully charged for optimal performance.

  Diane SanchezAug 28, 2025
  If your Stihl Saw battery isn't being charged even though the LED on the charger glows green, the battery might be too hot or too cold. Allow the battery to warm up or cool down gradually at ambient temperatures of about 50 °F to 68 °F (10 °C to 20 °C). Operate the charger indoors in a dry room, ideally between 41 °F to 86 °F (5 °C to 30 °C).
