The STIHL
AR 1000 lithium-ion backpack battery is the lightest of those featured in its
PRO cordless range.
Weighing
only 5.5kg, the slim ergonomic design of the AR 1000 allows the weight to be
carried closer to the operators back, making it more comfortable during
operation, particularly over longer periods. Also, the attachable rain cover
means its use is not dictated by weather conditions.
A
comfortable harness with a waist and chest strap come as standard and the new
design includes a USB port to allow the user to charge devices such as mobile
phones.
The battery
backpack enables the extended use of STIHL cordless products such as hedge
trimmers, blowers & brush cutters. This versatility is particularly well
suited for professionals who perform a variety of garden and landscape tasks.
The AR 1000
is ideal for use in conjunction with the powerful new HSA 94 R and T hedge
trimmers, affording them an impressive runtime of up to 380 minutes on a single
charge. The FSA 130 and 130 R brush cutters can also run for up to 230 minutes,
with the BGA 100 blower running for up to 225 minutes.
When used
in conjunction with the AL 500 charger, the AR 1000 backpack battery can be
charged in as little as two hours, cutting down the time expenditures usually
necessary for charging.
For added
convenience, the new battery backpack also has a six LED charge display status,
enabling users to quickly and easily monitor the charge level to know how much
operation time is left before needing to re-charge the unit.
The STIHL
backpack is available exclusively from more than 700 STIHL Approved Dealerships
nationwide, with experts on hand to offer help and advice.
