Moving into the future with a pioneering spirit: Cordless technology made by STIHL

Energy storage with a future

From hedge trimmers and vacuum shredders to electrically driven chainsaws and the iMOW robotic mowing system: STIHL has been continuously expanding its product portfolio with pioneering battery technology since 2009. Today we have a wide product range for professional applications and ambitious gardening. And there’s more: We don’t just develop the batteries for our power tools. Since 2019, we have also been producing backpack batteries for professional applications in our own STIHL battery production facility in Waiblingen (Germany).

Intelligent battery technology

STIHL battery power tools become more powerful with every generation. What’s more, our lithium-ion batteries are not only energy-saving powerhouses – they can also communicate: Intelligent control ensures that the power tool and battery always work in the “green zone”. And the future will be even smarter, for example with predictive maintenance and remote diagnostics.

We facilitate innovation

When it comes to topics for the future, we give our all. In Waiblingen (Germany), at our state-of-the-art STIHL centre of excellence for battery and electrical technology, specialists work together in small, agile, cross-disciplinary teams. This approach means we develop hardware and software together, in one of the world’s most powerful electronics laboratories for handheld forestry and garden equipment. This allows us to ensure from the outset that our innovations fulfill the STIHL performance promise of cutting-edge technology “made by STIHL”.
