How the Charging Modes Work
The AL1802 MO intelligently selects the best charging method:
Parallel Charging (Dual Slot Mode – 21 A each)
If two batteries are inserted within 5 seconds, both charge simultaneously at 21 A each.
Sequential / Priority Charging (Single Slot Mode – up to 42 A)
If batteries are inserted more than 5 seconds apart, one battery is prioritised and charged at up to 42 A for the fastest possible turnaround. Both batteries are actively cooled during charging.
This system allows professionals to either maximise total throughput (two batteries at once) or maximise individual battery speed when urgent turnaround is required.
Suitable Batteries / Compatibility
The AL1802 MO is compatible with:
-
All STIHL AP System batteries (including AP20, AP200, AP300, AP300.0 S, AP 500.0S)
-
STIHL AR backpack batteries
It is designed specifically for professional AP battery use and is not compatible with the CM 8 charge management solution.
Typical Professional Applications
This charger is ideal for:
-
Forestry teams running multiple chainsaws
-
Landscaping contractors cycling hedge trimmers and brushcutters
-
Local authorities managing cordless fleets
-
Contractors working from service vehicles
-
Large estates and grounds maintenance teams
Its high output allows constant battery rotation, meaning fewer batteries are required when paired with power banks or vehicle setups.
