- STIHL AK 20 lithium-ion battery
- STIHL AL 101 battery charger
- 52-litre grass collection box
- Mulching attachment and multi-blade
Available to buy from A-Z Hire in Walkinstown, Dublin 12, your local STIHL Authorised Dealer and Service Centre.
Complete STIHL Battery Mower Set
This is a complete battery lawn mower package, making it an excellent choice for customers purchasing their first STIHL AK System machine.
The included AK 20 battery provides enough power to mow an area of up to approximately 220m² per charge, depending on grass conditions, cutting height, operating technique and battery condition.
The battery can also be used with a wide range of other compatible STIHL AK System garden tools, including selected grass trimmers, hedge trimmers, leaf blowers, chainsaws and pole pruners.
46cm Cutting Width
The wide 46cm cutting deck helps you cover your lawn efficiently while remaining manoeuvrable around flower beds, garden furniture, paths and other obstacles.
This makes the STIHL RMA 248 particularly suitable for small and medium-sized gardens where a compact mower may take too long, but a larger self-propelled machine is unnecessary.
Four Ways to Mow
The STIHL RMA 248 offers four different mowing options:
- Cut and collect using the grass collection box
- Cut and drop without the collection box
- Side discharge using the integrated discharge flap
- Mulch using the multi-blade and mulching attachment
Mulching finely cuts the grass clippings and distributes them back onto the lawn. This can help return nutrients and moisture to the soil while reducing the amount of garden waste that needs to be emptied.
Central Cutting-Height Adjustment
The cutting height can be adjusted centrally from 20mm to 100mm, allowing you to adapt the mower to different lawn conditions.
Choose a lower setting for a neat, closely cut lawn or increase the cutting height when mowing longer, damp or uneven grass.
Because the adjustment is controlled from one central lever, you do not need to change the height separately at each wheel.
Large 52-Litre Grass Collection Box
The RMA 248 is fitted with a spacious 52-litre folding grass collection box.
Its fill-level indicator helps you see when the box needs to be emptied, while the folding design makes it easier to open and remove compacted grass clippings.
The airflow system directs air and dust towards the ground, helping to provide a cleaner and more comfortable mowing experience.
Durable Steel Mowing Deck
The robust sheet-steel housing provides excellent strength and stability for regular domestic lawn maintenance.
Its durable construction makes the RMA 248 a dependable alternative to lightweight entry-level cordless mowers, particularly for homeowners who want a wider cutting deck and a solid, long-lasting machine.
Comfortable and Easy to Store
The height-adjustable comfort handlebar can be set to suit the operator, helping to provide a more comfortable working position.
It can also be folded down for compact storage in a shed, garage or garden room. An integrated carrying handle makes the mower easier to lift and transport.
Quiet Cordless Operation
The STIHL RMA 248 produces less noise and vibration than a typical petrol lawn mower.
There are no exhaust emissions during operation, no petrol to store and no electrical cable to manage. Simply insert the charged battery, activate the mower and begin cutting.
Its quieter operation makes it particularly suitable for residential gardens and built-up areas where reducing noise is important.
Consistent STIHL Cutting Performance
STIHL Constant Power technology helps the mower maintain strong cutting performance as the battery charge decreases.
The flow-optimised blade is designed to reduce air resistance and use the available battery energy efficiently, helping the mower cover a larger area from each charge.
Two Battery Slots
The mower has two battery compartments.
One battery powers the machine, while the second slot can hold a spare compatible AK battery. When the first battery is discharged, you can quickly switch batteries and continue mowing.
The mower does not automatically switch between the two batteries.
