Stihl has rolled out its next generation of professional battery technology with advanced tabless technology, the ALLPRO, designed for the demands of forestry, landscaping and municipal services. According to Stihl, the ALLPRO battery system delivers more power, faster charging and longer runtime in a lighter, more efficient package. The ALLPRO system replaces the established AP system and is fully compatible with existing AP tools and chargers, allowing users to seamlessly continue using their existing tools and batteries.

At the core of ALLPRO are new high-performance batteries with varying energy capacities. Powered by tabless technology, these batteries offer significantly increased power, an outstanding power-to-weight ratio, longer operating times, and much shorter charging times, all while maintaining the durability professionals expect from Stihl.

Compared to the previous-generation AP 300.0 S battery, the new ALLPRO AP 300.0 P delivers: 60% higher peak power; 20% longer runtime, plus a faster charge time and up to double the service life, up to 3,000 charge cycles. The result is fewer battery swaps and greater productivity on the job.

In conventional battery cells, energy flows through a single point via a tab, which restricts the flow of energy and generates heat under load. Tabless cells allow energy to flow across the entire surface of the cell, improving efficiency, reducing heat buildup, and significantly shortening charging time. Because heat is a major contributor to battery wear, this also extends overall battery life.

A key advantage of tabless technology is ultra-fast charging. Using the Stihl AL 1602 MO mobile fast charger, ALLPRO batteries can recharge to 80% in under ten minutes, whether indoors or outdoors, on-site, in a vehicle on the move or at a workshop. When paired with the Stihl PS 2000 power station, batteries can also be charged in remote locations without access to a traditional power source. This enables continuous operation throughout the day, with one battery in use while another charges.

Built for tough environments, ALLPRO batteries feature an IPX5 rating, protecting against splashes and water from all sides, and are engineered to deliver up to 3,000 charge cycles without performance loss.

With varying weights and energy capacities, ALLPRO batteries give professionals the flexibility to match the right power source to the job:

• AP 100.0 P (2 lbs., 111 Wh): Lightweight option ideal for handheld tools like hedge trimmers and arborist saws

• AP 200.0 P (2.9 lbs., 222 Wh): Versatile, all-around performance for everyday tasks

• AP 300.0 P (4.2 lbs., 333 Wh): The most powerful model with the longest runtime for demanding jobs 

• AP 300.0 PC: Adds connectivity for integration with Stihl’s digital fleet management system

In addition to batteries featuring tabless technology, STIHL offers two competitively priced alternatives within the ALLPRO system. The AP 20.1 and AP 30.1 batteries use standard cell technology and are designed for professionals who prioritize durability and performance, but do not require ultra-fast charging.
