By Gavin Murphy, A-Z Hire – STIHL Authorised Dealer and Service Centre, Dublin

If you manage a busy landscaping crew, maintain green spaces for local councils, or handle commercial property upkeep, there’s one question that always comes up:

How do you keep multiple STIHL battery tools fully charged and ready to go?
The answer is simple, the STIHL AL 301-4 Multi-Charger.

As a trusted STIHL dealer in Dublin, A-Z Hire has seen firsthand how this 4-port professional charger improves efficiency for contractors and teams.

What is the STIHL AL 301-4 Multi-Charger?

The AL 301-4 is a 4-port charger designed to charge multiple batteries from the STIHL AP professional battery system, one after the other. It’s a space-saving, workshop- and van-friendly charging solution that replaces the need for four separate chargers.

Released in early 2022, it’s the first STIHL charger designed for professional use in vehicles, giving trade users the power to charge on the go using a 230V or 120V supply, ideal for teams on the move.

What Is the STIHL AL 301-4 Multi-Charger?

The STIHL AL 301-4 is a compact, four-slot battery charger designed to work with the STIHL AP System. Instead of needing four separate chargers, this unit allows users to charge up to four batteries in sequence — saving space, time, and power outlets.

Released in 2022, it’s the first STIHL charger built specifically for vehicle use, allowing professionals to charge on the go using a standard 230V or 120V power source.

How the AL 301-4 Works

This multi-charger uses sequential charging, meaning it automatically powers up one battery after another — no manual switching required. Just insert your batteries and let the unit manage the rest.

A single status button provides a clear view of charge levels across all four slots, helping your crew stay organised and productive.

The STIHL AL 301-4 is compatible with all major AP System batteries, including:

  • AP 200

  • AP 300

  • AP 300 S

  • AP 500 S

  • AR 2000 L

  • AR 3000 L

Typical Charge Times:

AP 300 S 55 mins 70 mins
AR 2000 L 210 mins 270 mins
AR 3000 L 310 mins 400 mins

Key Benefits for Professionals

Using one AL 301-4 instead of four individual chargers offers real benefits for trade users:

  • More van or workshop space

  • Fewer cables and sockets required

  • Charge overnight with no battery swapping

  • Stackable design for tidy setup

  • Rugged build with aluminium van-mounting sleeves

  • Wall-mountable for space-saving in depots or garages

It’s the go-to solution for landscapers, maintenance teams, and municipal crews relying on STIHL battery tools daily.

Can I Use the STIHL AL 301-4 in My Van?

Yes — it’s designed for mobile use. The AL 301-4 works with a standard 230V inverter or mains plug, making it perfect for:

  • Charging batteries during the workday

  • Powering tools without returning to base

  • Streamlining storage and charging in work vans

No modifications are needed. Just mount it, plug it in, and go.

Can I Use Multiple Chargers?

Absolutely. The modular design allows you to stack or align multiple AL 301-4 chargers. Whether you’re running one crew or five, this system scales with your operation to keep your entire fleet charged, tracked, and tidy.

Quick FAQs

Does it charge all batteries at once?
No — it charges sequentially (one at a time) to protect battery lifespan and prevent overheating.

Is it faster than four AL 300 chargers?
Not per battery, but it’s more efficient and reduces clutter and setup time.

Can I mix different battery types?
Yes — any combination of AP or AR batteries can be used.

What does the button do?
It displays the charge status of each slot so you can check battery levels instantly.
