    What to do if my Stihl Cordless Saw battery isn't charging but the charger LED is green?
    • A
      Alexander WalterSep 7, 2025
      If the battery is not 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). Also, operate the charger only in enclosed, dry rooms at ambient temperatures of 41 °F to 104 °F (5 °C to 40 °C).

      If the "CHAIN OIL" LED glows red on your Stihl Cordless Saw, it means there is insufficient bar and chain oil in the tank, or the bar and chain are not receiving oil. Try filling the chain oil tank. If the LED still glows, have the chain saw checked by an authorized STIHL servicing dealer.
