    What Is the STIHL AI Line?

    The STIHL AI Line is a range of cordless garden tools with integrated batteries — meaning there’s no need to buy a separate battery or charger. Designed for occasional garden tasks, these tools are lightweight, easy to use, and ideal for small to medium-sized gardens.

    Who Is It For?

    The AI Line is built for homeowners who want the convenience of cordless tools without worrying about charging systems or battery compatibility. It’s perfect for light trimming, mowing, or clearing leaves without the complexity of pro-level gear.

    Key Features

    • Integrated 18V lithium-ion battery – built into the tool
    • Single-button operation – no complicated startup sequences
    • LED charge indicators – so you know when it's time to recharge
    • Quiet and lightweight – suitable for noise-sensitive areas

    Charging and Runtime

    Each tool in the AI Line comes with a built-in battery and its own charging cable. Simply plug the tool into the wall like you would with a mobile phone. There’s no need to remove the battery or use external chargers.

    ToolCharge Time (100%)Typical Runtime
    BGA 45 Blower~300 mins~10 mins
    FSA 45 Grass Trimmer~210 mins~20 mins
    HSA 45 Hedge Trimmer~210 mins~40 mins

    Limitations of the AI Line

    Because the batteries are built-in, runtime is fixed and you can’t swap out batteries to keep going. If you need more power or longer runtimes, STIHL also offers the AK System for mid-sized gardens and the AP System for professionals. For ultra-light garden tools with compact removable batteries, the AS System is another great option.

    Is the AI Line Worth It?

    Yes — if you want a low-maintenance, grab-and-go tool for occasional use. There’s no learning curve, no charging station to set up, and no compatibility worries. Just plug it in, charge it, and get to work. It’s ideal for beginners or anyone who wants cordless freedom without the faff.

    Frequently Asked Questions About the STIHL AI Line

    No. AI Line tools have integrated batteries and do not work with the removable batteries used in other STIHL systems.
    Not easily. The batteries are built into the tool. If it fails outside warranty, most users will need to replace the tool. Contact a STIHL dealer for repair options.
    Plug the tool directly into a standard wall socket using the included charger cable. There’s no battery to remove.
    It’s not ideal. The limited runtime and lack of battery swappability mean the AI Line is best for small to medium jobs. For larger gardens, consider the AK or AP systems.
    No. It’s designed for domestic users. For contractors or regular heavy-duty work, the AP System is far more suitable.
