What to do if Stihl HTA 66 battery is not being charged even though LED on charger glows green?

  Brenda StephensAug 28, 2025
  If the LED on the charger glows green but your Stihl Pole Saw battery isn't charging, it could be due to the battery temperature. 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). Make sure to operate the charger only in enclosed, dry rooms at ambient temperatures of 41 °F to 104 °F (5 °C to 40 °C).
