briefly before going out. Once the LED goes out,
the self-test is complete and the charger is ready
to charge the battery.
► Position the power supply cord (2) so that it
will not be stepped on, tripped over, come in
contact with sharp objects or moving parts or
otherwise be subjected to damage or stress.
11.2 Charging
WARNING
■ STIHL batteries contain safety features and
devices which, if damaged, may allow the bat‐
tery to generate heat, rupture, leak, ignite or
explode. Never charge a malfunctioning, dam‐
aged, cracked, leaking or deformed battery or
use a charger that has been damaged. For
indoor use only. Keep the charger dry. Protect
it from rain, water, liquids and damp condi‐
tions. Never insert a wet battery. Never use a
wet charger,
8.
To charge the battery:
► Push the battery (2) into the charger (3) until it
stops.
The LED on the charger (4) glows green when
the battery is charging.
The LEDs (1) on the battery glow green and
show the state of charge.
The charging process is complete when the
LED on the charger and the LEDs on the bat‐
tery go out.
The charger turns itself off when the battery is
fully charged. The battery can be removed
from the charger.
► Disconnect the power supply cord from the
electrical outlet when the charger is not in use
for extended periods of time.
A battery is not fully charged when it ships from
the factory. STIHL recommends that you fully
charge the battery before using it the first time.
Operate the charger indoors in a dry room. For
optimum performance, observe the recommen‐
ded ambient temperature ranges,
24.6.
The battery heats up during operation of the
hedge trimmer. If a hot battery is inserted into the
charger, it may be necessary for it to cool down
before charging starts. The charging process
begins only after the battery has cooled down
sufficiently.
Charging time depends on a number of factors,
including battery condition and ambient tempera‐
ture. For a complete list of approximate charging
times, see www.stihl.com/charging-times.
11.3 Mounting the Charger on a
Wall
Before mounting, ensure that no electrical
cables, pipes or other service lines run in the wall
behind the charger.

–
c (for AL 301) = 3.9 in. (100 mm)
–
c (for AL 500) = 4.7 in. (120 mm)
–
d = 0.2 in. (4.5 mm)
–
e = 0.4 in. (9 mm)
–
f = 0.1 in. (2.5 mm)
