Revolutionary 40Ah ePower Performance
The heart of the Tornado 398e is the new 40Ah ePower Pro battery system, offering a "one size fits all" modular approach to energy.
- Tailored Runtime: Because the batteries are modular, you can combine them to perfectly match the size of your garden, ensuring you never run out of power mid-cut.
- Intelligent Energy Management: Utilizing an advanced "Master & Slave" strategy, the machine’s Battery Management System (BMS) ensures all batteries work in perfect synchronization. The "Master" battery coordinates energy usage across the entire array, monitoring real-time signals and parameters from the "Slave" units to maximize efficiency.
- Built for the Real World: These batteries are not just powerful—they are practical. They feature IP65-rated water protection and are designed for easy, tool-free removal with just one hand. Plus, their portable design makes indoor winter storage simple and safe.
Smart Control at Your Fingertips

- Cutting Efficiency: Monitor how effectively you are mowing to get the best finish.
- Battery Status: High-visibility indicators keep you aware of your total energy levels.
- Available Cutting Time: The system calculates exactly how much time you have left based on your current power usage.
Unmatched Drive and Durability
Equipped with high-torque drive motors, the 398e offers superior climbing ability on slopes and enough pulling capacity to tow a fully loaded 100kg STIGA cart. Whether you are dealing with thick grass or uneven ground, the Tornado 398e delivers consistent blade speed and a premium finish every time.
Step into the future of lawn care with the STIGA Tornado 398e —where professional power meets intelligent design.
Intelligent Power Without Limits: The STIGA Modular Battery System
STIGA is redefining efficiency with a modular approach to energy, ensuring you have exactly the power you need, precisely where and when you need it.
One Size, Infinite Possibilities: Stiga's high-performance 40Ah ePower batteries follow a "one size fits all" philosophy. This modular design allows you to combine batteries into customized modules, tailoring your machine's runtime to perfectly match the size of your garden.
Synchronized Reliability: When multiple batteries are installed, they don’t just work side-by-side - they work in perfect harmony. The system monitors the energy levels and health of each individual unit, distributing the workload to ensure consistent performance and longer battery life.
Advanced Master & Slave Strategy: At the heart of this technology is a sophisticated Battery Management System (BMS). The system utilizes a "Master & Slave" strategy: the first battery inserted acts as the "Master," coordinating energy management across the entire array. It monitors signals and performance parameters from the "Slave" batteries in real-time, ensuring seamless parallel usage and optimized power delivery.
Why this matters for your garden
Instead of being restricted by a single fixed battery, you now have the flexibility to scale your power. Whether you are doing a quick trim or tackling a massive estate, the Master & Slave strategy ensures your machine draws power intelligently, preventing "range anxiety" and maximizing the lifespan of your investment.
