10.2 Charging
WARNING
STIHL batteries contain safety features and devices which,
if damaged, may allow the battery to generate heat, rupture,
leak, ignite or explode. Never charge a malfunctioning,
damaged, cracked, leaking or deformed battery, or use a
charger that has been damaged. Never insert a wet battery
or battery adapter. Never use a wet charger. Follow all
product-specific warnings and instructions accompanying
your battery and charger.
A battery is not fully charged when it ships from the factory.
STIHL recommends that you fully charge the battery before
using it the first time.
Operate the charger only indoors, in dry rooms and within an
ambient temperature range of 41 °F to 104 °F (5 °C to
40 °C).
The battery heats up during operation of the power tool. If a
hot battery is connected to the charger, it may be necessary
for it to cool down before charging starts. The charging
process begins only after the battery has cooled down
sufficiently.
Charging time depends on a number of factors, including
battery condition and the ambient temperature. For a
complete list of approximate charging times, see
www.stihl.com/charging-times.
To charge an AR battery:
► Push the plug of the connecting cord (1) into the
socket (2) of the AP Adapter (3) until it stops.
► Push the AP Adapter into the charger (5) until it stops.
The LED on the charger (4) glows green when the battery
is charging.
The LEDs on the AR battery glow green and show the
state of charge.
When the LEDs on the battery turn off, the charging
process is complete and the charger will shut itself off. The
AP Adapter can be removed from the charger.
► Disconnect the power supply cord from the electrical
outlet when the charger is not in use.
► Charge STIHL AR backpack batteries only with genuine
STIHL AL 300 or AL 500 series chargers.
