STIHL® AL 500 High-Speed Battery Super Charger
Blistering 12-Amp Super Fast Charging. 570-Watt Heavy-Duty Power Input. Ultimate Active Forced-Air Cooling Protection.
The STIHL AL 500 High-Speed Battery Super Charger injects lightning-fast electrical restoration, advanced cell heat protection, and universal cross-fleet management straight into your cordless landscape operations. Purpose-built to eliminate long shop delays, premature battery wear, and the mess of maintaining multiple charging hubs, this premium professional super charger serves as the powerhouse core of your equipment. It provides commercial landscape fleets, forestry crews, and demanding property owners with a high-current powerhouse station optimized to replenish high-capacity batteries in as little as 25 minutes, protect internal lithium pouch cells from thermal wear, and keep crews productive all day.
Advanced microprocessor logic and heavy-duty thermal defenses define the core technology inside this premium STIHL AL 500 Charger. Delivering a massive 12-amp charging current and backed by a 570-watt power input matrix, this commercial station charges high-tier batteries up to 7 times faster than consumer charging bases. To protect against the primary cause of battery degradation—excessive charging heat—the chassis integrates active forced-air cooling fans that aggressively push fresh air through the battery cell channels to lower core temperatures during high-speed current pushes. Housed in a compact, rugged composite frame, this charger features a high-visibility LED mode indicator and built-in rear molded jigs for space-saving wall mounting.
