WARNING
￭ Use for any purpose other
than powering compatible
STIHL power tools could
result in personal injury or
property damage.
– Use STIHL AP series
batteries only to power
compatible STIHL power
tools.
￭ Use of unauthorized
chargers can damage the
battery and result in fire,
explosion and personal
injury and property
damage.
– Use only genuine STIHL
AL series chargers to
charge STIHL AP series
batteries.
￭ The battery contains safety
features and devices
which, if damaged, may
allow the battery to
generate heat, rupture,
leak, ignite or explode.
– Never use or charge a
malfunctioning,
damaged, cracked,
leaking or deformed
battery.
– Never open,
disassemble, crush,
drop, subject to heavy
impact or otherwise
damage the battery.
– Never expose the battery
to microwaves or high
pressures.
– Never insert objects into
the battery's cooling
slots.
￭ High temperatures may
cause the battery to
generate heat, rupture,
leak, ignite or explode,
resulting in severe or fatal
personal injury and
property damage.
Exposure to temperatures
outside the recommended
temperature range may
also reduce battery life and
performance.
￭ To reduce the risk of
personal injury and
property damage in the
event the battery emits
smoke, an unusual smell or
feels unusually hot while
using, charging or storing:
– Immediately discontinue
using or charging the
battery. Prepare to
contact the authorities in
the event of fire or
explosion.
￭ To reduce the risk of a
short circuit, which could
lead to electric shock, fire
and explosion:
– Never bridge the battery
terminals with wires or
other metallic objects.
– Keep a battery that is not
in use away from metal
objects (e.g., paper clips,
nails, coins, keys).
– Never transport or store
the battery in a metal
container.
– Store the battery indoors
in a dry room.
– Never store the battery in
damp or corrosive
environments or in
conditions that could
lead to corrosion of its
metal components.
– Protect the battery from
exposure to corrosive
agents such as garden
chemicals and de-icing
salts.
– Never store the battery in
the power tool or
charger.
– Do not attempt to repair,
open or disassemble the
battery. There are no
user-serviceable parts
inside.
￭ Leaking battery fluid can
cause skin and eye
irritation or chemical burns.
– Avoid contact with skin
and eyes.
– Use an inert absorbent
such as sand on spilled
liquids.
– In the event of accidental
contact, immediately
rinse the contact area
thoroughly with mild soap
and water.
– If fluid gets into your
eye(s): Do not rub. Rinse
water over the open
eye(s) for at least 15
minutes and seek
medical attention.
￭ A battery fire can be
dangerous. To reduce the
risk of severe personal
injury and property
damage in the event of fire:
– Evacuate the area. Fire
can spread rapidly. Stay
clear of any vapors
generated and maintain
a safe distance.
– Contact the fire
department.
– Although water can be
used to put out a battery
fire, use of a multi-
purpose dry chemical fire
extinguisher is
preferable.
– Consult the fire
department regarding
proper disposal of the
burned battery.
￭ Dropping the battery could
result in personal injury or
property damage. To
prevent the battery from
falling during removal:
– Place the power tool on a
level surface and use
care when ejecting the
battery.
Four LEDs show the status of
the battery. These LEDs can
glow or flash green or red.
The green lights indicate the
status of the charge, with four
continuously glowing green
lights indicating a full charge.
If one green LED is flashing,
less than 20% of the battery's
charge remains.
Operate the charger only
indoors, in dry rooms and
within an ambient
temperature range of 41 °F to
104 °F (5 °C to 40 °C).
For AL 301-4 charger only:
You may install and operate
the STIHL AL 301-4 charger in
an enclosed, dry vehicle.
Always read and follow the
instructions and safety
information for your charger.
Store the battery out of reach
of children in a cool, locked
and dry area away from direct
sunlight and excess heat or
cold (14 °F to 122 °F (- 10 °C
to 50 °C)).
For maximum battery life,
store the battery at an
ambient temperature
between 50 °F and 68 °F
(10 °C and 20 °C) with a
charge between 40 % (2
green LEDs) and 80 % (3
green LEDs). Do not leave
spare batteries unused. Use
them in rotation.

3 LED Diagnostics
If one LED glows red
continuously: the
battery is either too hot
or too cold. Allow the
battery to warm up or
cool down gradually at
an ambient
temperature of about
50 °F to 68 °F (10 °C
to 20 °C).
If three LEDs glow red
continuously: the
power tool motor is too
hot. Allow the motor to
cool down.
If three LEDs flash
red: there is a problem
with the power tool. Do
not operate. Have the
power tool checked by
an authorized STIHL
servicing dealer.
If all four LEDs flash
red: the battery has a
malfunction and must
be replaced. Do not
