AS System Battery Charge times (AS 2 Battery)
| Battery | Charger | Charge Time (80%) | Charge Time (100%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| AS 2 | AL 1 | 55 min | 70 min |
| AS 2 | AL 5 / AL 5-2 | 30 min | 50 min |
| AS 2 | PS 1 (12V) | 60 min | 80 min |
Charging Note
Important: The AS System uses a dedicated charger (AL 1) and is not compatible with AK or AP chargers. Always check compatibility before charging or buying spares.
How the AS System Compares to Other STIHL Battery Ranges
AK System
The AK System is designed for more demanding garden work, offering mid-range tools suited to larger gardens and longer runtimes.
AP System
For heavy-duty or professional use, the AP System delivers high-performance tools built for commercial environments and all-day use.
Each STIHL battery system has its own battery and charger setup, so it’s best to stick to one platform to avoid compatibility issues.

If you're looking for simple, cordless tools to help maintain your garden without the hassle of petrol, cables, or bulkier equipment, the STIHL AS System is a great fit. It’s quiet, intuitive, and perfect for small jobs — ideal for beginners or experienced gardeners alike.
