Which batteries work with STIHL AP?

Q: Which batteries work with STIHL AP?

Only STIHL AP batteries. No brand or tested source we have found says another platform's pack runs STIHL AP tools, or that STIHL AP packs run anything else, so plan on one battery family.

Platforms it's compared with

We have no source saying any of these share batteries with STIHL AP, so owning both means two sets of packs and chargers. Each comparison lines the two platforms up tool by tool.

Same brand, different battery

STIHL also sells STIHL AS and STIHL AK. We have no source saying their packs fit STIHL AP tools, so don't assume a shared brand means a shared battery.
