BRA 500 Cordless Battery Back Pack Leaf Blower (Power Unit) by STIHL

Stihl BRA 500 Cordless Battery Back Pack Leaf Blower (Power Unit)Stihl BRA 500 Cordless Battery Back Pack Leaf Blower (Power Unit)

The Stihl BRA 500 Cordless Backpack Blower - built to handle the toughest clearing tasks of your workday, is part of the AP System of battery tools and runs on two AP batteries to power its 72-volt motor. The result is an impressive maximum blowing force of 32 newtons—matching the performance of the BR 600 professional petrol backpack blower. Aimed at busy professionals this model offers a wealth of features and is also quiet to work with thanks to the “STIHL Noise Reduction System”.

With a total of four power levels you will be able to find the setting to suit your needs, so you’re never using more power than you need, thus utilising the life of the batteries to the very end. Ideal for those bigger clearing jobs even in quieter areas such as in fields, paths and streets. Its powerful blower mode can also tackle heavy and wet leaves, grass and hedge trimmings or rubbish with ease.

The best feature we think of the AP system is that the tool maintains its high power output throughout the whole charge of the battery so you’ll never notice a decrease in power until the battery needs recharging, making this a great choice for hard working professionals. The weight is evenly distributed too; making this Stihl BRA 500 an easy and safe option. It's comfortable to wear too, thanks to the shoulder and weight padding  and there’s even an aluminium tube at the base of the BRA 500 which means you can carry it and move it around in comfort. 

The blower tube length is easy to adjust and on the control handle you will find a built-in electronic interface that allows you to control the speed of the leaf blower between Low, Mid, High and Boost modes. Here you will find helpful information such as battery charge, the ability to switch to cruise control, check the connectivity and show basic diagnosis information. This model has the STIHL Connected built into the machine - follow the link for more information. 

With outstanding features such as cruise control, power boost mode and the ability to adjust the position of the handle without the need for tools, this Stihl BRA 500 Cordless Backpack Blower is ideal for when you really need a powerful tool for all day work. The BRA 500 requires two AP batteries to operate and cannot run on just one. For maximum runtime, we recommend using two AP 500 S batteries with the leaf blower

Please note: The BRA 500 cannot be used with one battery and must be used with two AP batteries. For the longest working time we recommend using the leaf blower with two AP 500 S batteries.

Main features

  • High Blowing Force: Delivers a maximum blowing force of 32 Newtons, equivalent to the STIHL BR 600 petrol professional backpack blower, capable of handling heavy and wet leaves, grass, hedge trimmings, or rubbish with ease.
  • Low-Noise Operation: Incorporates innovative noise reduction technology that minimizes sound power level and disruptive frequencies, making it quieter for residents and passers-by.
  • Power Boost Mode: Full blowing power can be activated by applying extra pressure to the trigger lever.
  • STIHL Connected: Built-in connectivity allows for tool fleet management, providing data such as age, operating hours, and maintenance status via the STIHL connected App and Portal.
  • Adjustable Handle: The handle position can be quickly adjusted without tools to suit the operator’s preferences.
  • Splashwater Protection: IPX4 certified due to encapsulated electronics and sealed battery cells, allowing use in rainy conditions.
  • Energy Recovery System: Recovers energy when the throttle is released, extending battery life during use.
  • Dual AP Battery System: Powered by two AP batteries for a 72-volt motor, requiring both batteries for operation (recommended with two AP 500 S batteries for longest working time).
  • Constant Power Output: Maintains consistent high power throughout the entire battery charge.
  • Ergonomic Design: Weighs 10.5 kg with two AP 500 S batteries, with excellent weight distribution due to the positioning of batteries and motor close to the operator’s back, improving comfort compared to petrol models.
  • Aluminium Tube: Enhances durability and ease of carrying to and from the work vehicle.
  • Electronic Interface: Built into the control handle, allowing speed control (Low, Mid, High, and Boost modes), cruise control, battery charge status, connectivity status, and basic diagnostic information.

In 1992 Stihl acquired the garden equipment manufacturer Viking. They were based in the Austrian Tyrol and under the leadership of Dr Nikolas Stihl (Grandson of the group founder), they expanded rapidly.

In the 2000’s Stihls fantastic innovation carries on, introducing the multi-tool concept that is currently known today as the KombiSystem. It wasn’t until 2009 that Stihl decided to enter the cordless power tool market. They released two standard setting hedge trimmers which were praised by an array of gardeners.

Stihl’s innovation has lead to a number of key features being produced. Such as automatic chain oiling, centrifugal clutch, Ematic system, ElastoStart system, 4-mix technology, Ergo Start and Anti-vibration systems all within their products.

The Stihl name has stood for revolutionary technology and innovative ideas ever since the firm was founded. Stihl garden machinery is regarded as probably the number 1 brand in the world today. The Stihl name is known round the world today for quality, innovation and service and in more than 160 countries their products are helping people at work. From the incredible chainsaw range to the flexible KombiSystem and quiet and powerful leaf blowers, you will find a Stihl garden machine to suit you.
