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.

Why the STIHL AL 500 Dominates Your Commercial Battery Fleet:

  • Massive 12A Super Charger Current: Delivers the fastest charging times in the STIHL lineup, restoring professional battery packs in under an hour.
  • Active Forced-Air Cooling Fan: Constantly draws damaging heat away from the cells during high-current rushes, actively extending the overall lifespan of your batteries.
  • Universal AK, AP & AR System Compatibility: Seamlessly services entry-level homeowner packs, professional AP blocks, and ultra-high capacity AR backpack batteries.
  • Smart Overload Voltage Protection: Digital monitoring modules track real-time cell saturation and immediately cut power the moment the pack hits 100%.
  • Space-Saving Wall Mounting: Features built-in base anchoring slots and an integrated cable-rewind hub to keep messy shop workbenches completely organized.

Frequently Asked Questions

+ How much faster is the AL 500 compared to the AL 301 and AL 101 chargers?
The AL 500 is the fastest charger in the STIHL ecosystem. It delivers a massive 12 Amp charging current, compared to 6.5 Amps on the AL 301 and 1.6 Amps on the standard AL 101. For example, it cuts the full charge time of an AP 300 S battery down to just 45 minutes, keeping your equipment moving on the jobsite.
+ Which specific STIHL battery families can be charged on this unit?
The AL 500 features universal system integration and is fully compatible with all STIHL AK System, AP System, and high-capacity AR backpack-style batteries. It is especially recommended for heavy-duty commercial AP and AR batteries where large energy contents require massive charging currents to prevent jobsite downtime. Note: It is not compatible with the ultra-compact AS 2 battery system.
+ Why does the built-in fan system stay on during the charging process?
Pushing a massive 12A current generates significant internal electrical resistance and heat, which can damage and shorten the lifespan of lithium cells over time. The AL 500 includes an active forced-air cooling fan system that automatically forces cool ambient air straight through the battery pack vents. This keeps the internal cell components cool, allowing for fast charging speeds without causing excessive thermal wear.
+ Can I safely mount the AL 500 super charger vertically to a shop wall or trailer grid?
Yes. The bottom of the housing features molded keyhole jigs designed specifically for secure wall mounting. This allows you to mount the charger to shop walls, workbenches, or trailer panels to maximize work space. It also includes an integrated plastic cable rewind track to keep long power cords neat and tangle-free.
