You may see the AS 2 described elsewhere as a 2.6Ah battery. STIHL’s current UK technical data lists a rated capacity of 2.10Ah under the IEC 61960 testing standard. The 28Wh energy rating and manufacturer part number are the clearest ways to identify the correct battery.
Which Tools Use the STIHL AS 2 Battery?
The AS 2 is compatible with current tools in the STIHL AS System. Popular examples available from Masseys include:
- STIHL GTA 26 cordless garden pruner – for pruning branches and cutting up garden waste.
- STIHL HSA 26 cordless shrub and grass shears – for precise shrub shaping and lawn-edge trimming.
- STIHL FSA 30 cordless strimmer – for trimming lawn edges and grass around obstacles.
- STIHL HSA 30 cordless hedge trimmer – for maintaining smaller domestic hedges.
Important: The AS 2 battery is not compatible with the older STIHL HSA 25 shrub shears. It is also not interchangeable with STIHL AK System or AP System batteries.
Charging the STIHL AS 2 Battery
The AS 2 must be charged with a compatible STIHL AS System charger.
- STIHL AL 1 charger: approximately 80 minutes
- STIHL AL 5 or AL 5-2 charger: approximately 50 minutes
For normal home and garden use, the compact STIHL AL 1 charger is the straightforward choice. Faster chargers may be useful when several AS batteries are being used regularly.
Charging and working times can vary according to battery temperature, tool, workload and operating conditions.
Is a Spare AS 2 Battery Worth Buying?
A second AS 2 battery is particularly useful when you own more than one AS System tool or want to complete several jobs without waiting for a recharge. You can keep one battery charging while the other is being used.
For occasional pruning or light trimming, one battery may be sufficient. For longer sessions or several tools, keeping a spare battery ready provides more flexibility.
Battery Care and Storage
- Use only chargers approved by STIHL for the AS System.
- Allow a hot battery to cool before charging.
- Store the battery in a dry, secure location away from direct heat and sunlight.
- Do not use a battery that is cracked, distorted, leaking or otherwise damaged.
- Keep the battery contacts clean and dry.
- Do not immerse the battery in water, despite its IPX4 splash-water rating.
