Charge and battery management
Whether it’s a municipal building yard, garden and landscaping operation or facility management: STIHL’s intelligent charging management system brings order to your workflow – with systematic organisation when storing, charging and assigning your batteries. This means that every power tool is ready for use on time, so you and your team can start every day with full energy.
Energy that travels with you - mobile charging management
Mobile charging management from STIHL enables batteries to be charged directly in the vehicle or at the place of use, without having to go back to the workshop. This means that you and your team remain productive and flexible, even with high capacity utilisation and changing locations. As you recharge the batteries regularly, you need fewer battery packs – which significantly reduces both the effort involved and the initial costs.
Ready to go all day long – stationary charging management
Organisations with large fleets and numerous teams need a reliable foundation for their daily operations. A stationary charging infrastructure located in the building yard or in the workshop manages the power supply so that each team can set off on time each morning with their equipment ready for use. By centralising all charging processes, you can establish clear procedures and ensure the necessary security.
Central charging cabinets and shelving systems create order and safety. With the STIHL CM 12 Charging Management, you can charge up to 48 batteries from a single socket overnight without the need for a qualified electrician. Three priority slots ensure that the most important batteries are ready to go first thing in the morning. This protects the technology from unauthorised access and keeps you fully informed about the operational readiness of your equipment.

What experienced pros say about charging management with ALLPRO batteries
Frequently Asked Questions About Stihl Charging Solutions
Charging management refers to the systematic planning and organisation of the charging, storage and assignment of batteries in a company. It ensures that all batteries are fully charged at the start of the working day and have been allocated to the correct employees and power tools. This avoids time-consuming searches and unplanned downtime on the construction site. Smart charging management saves preparation time every day and extends the service life of your batteries.
As a rule of thumb: at least one charging station for each battery used plus 20% reserve. For example, with three fleets of ten batteries each, a central charging system with 36 to 40 charging points is recommended. Modular charging cabinets are ideal for growing businesses, as they can be gradually expanded. It is also important to plan in backup batteries for shift changes or particularly long working days.
Approximately 5 AP 300.0 P or 7-8 AP 200.0 P batteries can be fully charged with the mobile PS 2000 power station.
A simple charging rack provides physical storage spaces with chargers, but does not show an overview of the charge level of individual batteries. An intelligent charging management system monitors each battery individually and displays the charge level directly. It can also optimise the charging sequence according to priority. For smaller operations with less than 15 batteries, a structured shelf is often sufficient. If you have 20 or more batteries and several teams, it is worth investing in a smart system that prevents downtime and extends battery life.
Yes, STIHL offers mobile charging solutions for charging in vehicles. This is particularly useful for horticulture and landscaping companies with long journeys, as the batteries are already charged when they arrive at the place of use. This requires a suitable vehicle circuit or an inverter solution. Your STIHL dealer can advise you on compatible vehicle charging solutions on site.
Batteries should not be stored permanently at 100% or at deep discharge. A charge level of 40 to 80% is ideal for longer storage. Regular charging after each use and storage in a cool and dry place significantly extends the service life. The use of genuine STIHL chargers is also important. Intelligent charging systems can automatically comply with and monitor these parameters.
Municipal operations usually require a stationary infrastructure with high capacity. Charging cabinets with up to 30 charging bays are a frequently chosen solution here. They combine secure storage and theft protection with structured access for the teams. For construction sites with a fleet, a combination of stationary cabinets for the main fleet and mobile charging solutions for vehicles is recommended. STIHL can support you in planning through your local dealer.
