## Questions

**Do EGO POWER+ 56V batteries work with STIHL AP tools?**
No. We have no source saying a EGO POWER+ 56V battery runs STIHL AP tools, or the other way round, so owning both means two sets of packs and chargers.

In this catalogue so far: 53 for EGO POWER+ 56V and 33 for STIHL AP. Both brands may make more than are listed yet.

By the brands' amp-hour figures, the largest EGO POWER+ 56V pack listed is 12 Ah and the largest STIHL AP pack is 7.8 Ah. Amp-hours only compare fairly at the same voltage (56 V against 36 V); watt-hours, where the brand states them, are on each battery's page.
