Is that a good thing though?

I don’t personally think so

[dig-dug-dan]

Well no, fr Jones dont ask for a licence, but my local dealer does, so I depends on the retailer I guess

Almost right, but not quite.

Saw £149 (bare)

4.0a/h battery £129 each. (takes one, but you may want a spare too)

Standard charge £34

Fast charger £79

 

In stock at present (no std chargers though)

Stiga having 3 batteries systems all at the same time seems abit confusing.

 

24v homeowner 48v mid ranage then 80v pro

 

 

 

Is a  4ah 48v same as say a 8ah 24v?

 

4 x 48 = 198

8 x 24 = 198

11x18 = 198

 

 

Having theorectically the same  capacity  say  as a 11ah 18v battery makes it sound alot less expensive?

 

Is that right?

 

Says its a 1000w motor same as the makita cordless think,  whats are stihl motors rated seems a secret?

Crikey, I had a look at this saw ans was seriously thinking about getting one till you posted this, £327 on top of the £150 for the bare saw ( x2 batts), I'll not bother thanks.

Nope. Most of the units use the same 18650 TYPE lithium cells.

Connecting them in series increases voltage (in V) but the capacity in Ah remains the same.

Connecting them in parallel increases capacity in Ah but the voltage remains the same.

Overall energy amount is measured in Watt hours (Wh) (=Volts x Amp Hours) so basically same amount of cells in the pack will be able to carry same amount of total energy.

In real world it's easier to make higher voltage pack produce more power with less losses however it has some drawbacks.

A decent battery for most tools costs slightly more than 1€ per 1 Wh. This varies a bit depending on the battery capacity and BMS

Very very similar looking to the Husqvarna top handle battery,
