Description
36 V, 4.8 Ah Lithium-Ion battery. The AP 200 S is a high-capacity battery that powers tools within the STIHL AP System.
With an energy capacity of 187 Wh, the battery has an integrated LED charge indicator, clearly displaying when the battery needs charging.
The AP 200 S has an improved cold start feature, meaning it calculates the voltage drop caused by cold temperatures and adjusts the battery current accordingly – meaning your tool receives maximum power from the battery and the battery is able to warm up efficiently.
The AP 200 S battery comes equipped with the latest version of STIHL connected, allowing users to keep track of data such as total discharge time and the total number of charge cycles. This data is then made available in the STIHL Connected App, a fleet management tool capable of giving an insightful overview of all tools in your fleet. Durable and suitable for all weather conditions, the AP 200 S delivers the same long working times as the previous version and is the powerhouse behind the vast majority of AP System tools.
This battery has a cold start feature, which protects the cells by warming them up in a controlled way before delivering full power and allows them to work down to -20° Celsius – delivering full power within as little as 2 minutes!
AP System batteries feature an intelligent battery management system – this clever technology gives a constant level of power whether the battery is 100% charged or 1% charged.
Compatible with the AL 101, AL 301, AL 301-4 and AL 501 charger units.

STIHL Battery Care Guide
Why you should not charge your lithium-ion battery before storing it
Today, battery technology uses lithium-ion as standard, and these cells experience negligible levels of self-discharge. To protect cells from over-discharge, a lithium-ion battery is usually built with separate integrated fuses that can automatically switch a highly discharged battery to a rest state, so they don’t need to be fully charged before storage. In fact, lithium-ion battery life is extended if it goes into storage partly charged – that said, it’s worth remembering that cells are negatively impacted in the event of storage with a very low level of charge or if the battery is fully charged. We recommend that you store a lithium-ion battery with two lit LEDs, indicating a charge of 40-60%, to minimise ageing and self-discharge.
Proper storage of tools with an integrated battery
A power tool with an integrated battery, such as the FSA 45 grass trimmer, needs to be treated differently from other cordless tools, as you cannot remove the battery for storage purposes. Battery storage preparation for these tools is simple:
- Switch off the power tool and pull out the activation key.
- Use a damp cloth to clean any dirt or soil off the power tool before it goes into storage.
- Keep the power tool in a dry, secure place.
Store the power tool at low, frost-free temperatures. Avoid storage in direct sunlight and damp conditions. Further information on the storage temperature for your power tool is available in the instruction manual. For safety, we recommend storing the activation key separately from the cordless power tool.
When is the best time to charge the integrated lithium-ion battery again?
If you are using your cordless power tool with an integrated battery after a lengthy storage period, charge it just before you use it. This safeguards the capacity and has a positive effect on the service life. The battery will only charge at temperatures above 5°C; the charger monitors the battery temperature and prevents charging if the temperature is too low or too high.
Keep your lithium-ion battery protected
- Remove the battery from your cordless power tool before storage. Check the charge level and make sure that 2 LEDs are lit on your battery. If required, use a damp cloth to clean dirt and soil off the battery.
- Store the battery in a dry place and out of direct sunlight, in a closed box, for example.
- Temperature requirements: it’s best to store batteries at a temperature between -10°C and 50°C – dry basements, garages, or a well-insulated shed, for example.
- Store your lithium-ion batteries in a secure place, and place them safely out of the reach of children.
- Store the charger separately from the battery, at a temperature between 5°C and 40°C.
- Further information on the storage temperature for your power tool is available in the instruction manual.
Is it dangerous to charge a battery for too long?
It’s normal for a battery to become hot when charging, and it is not a cause for concern. High-tech Li-ion batteries carry a very low fire risk, thanks partly to the integrated battery management system, which ensures that when a battery reaches its full charging capacity, the lithium-ion battery charging process is stopped and the current switched off. This prevents overcharging and the associated heat build-up.
Protect your battery against cold weather and frost
A Li-ion battery may also be damaged if temperatures are too low; whereas particles are accelerated when hot, in cold conditions, the process slows down dramatically, so a frozen battery may be impossible to charge. We recommend you do not store your battery and cordless power tool outdoors during the winter, and always ensurea moderate ambient temperature when charging or storing, in a basement or garage, for example.
Worth noting!
All STIHL batteries are supplied to dealers with a factory default charge level of 30%. Before first use, the battery should be charged to 80-100%.
