VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – Professionals get gas-powered performance from their STIHL battery products with the 36-volt, 1148 watt-hour AR 3000 backpack battery.

“Tasks like trimming, pruning and blowing are all done with ease using the AR 3000,” said Brian Manke, product manager at STIHL Inc. “This innovative battery allows professionals to maximize their time onsite and can be used in environmentally or noise-sensitive areas like school grounds, business districts or hospitals.”

Built with the professionals in mind

The AR 3000 comes equipped with numerous features for the demanding professional like audible and visual recharge alerts, rain cover, sturdy housing and durable base plate. And its ergonomic design with comfortable shoulder straps, hip belt and chest strap distributes the weight evenly, reducing operator fatigue.

This STIHL Lithium-Ion technology with extended runtimes** minimizes downtime on the job, allowing professionals to take on more work. Recharging the AR 3000 to 100 percent capacity takes only 160 minutes when used with the STIHL AL 500 high-speed charger.
