STIHL ADA 100 AP adapter

If your cordless tool feels heavy during longer jobs, the STIHL ADA 100 AP adapter helps by letting you carry the battery on your belt or back instead of in the machine. You simply plug the adapter into the battery slot and connect it to a compatible AP or AR battery with the appropriate cable.

It’s a practical way to transfer power from STIHL AP System batteries or an AR backpack battery to tools with a battery slot, trimming tool weight and keeping you working comfortably for longer.

Where it fits in your setup

• Run tools with a battery slot via an external AP or AR battery
• Ideal when you want longer run times without extra tool weight
• Great for professional use where all‑day handling matters

Why it makes a difference

• Lighter-feeling tool: Carry the battery on your belt or back
• Simple connection: Plug adapter in, then attach the cable
• Flexible power: Works with AP System and AR backpacks
• Pro-grade setup: Built for daily, demanding use

In daily use

The adapter clicks into the battery slot firmly and the cable routing is straightforward. Once connected, the tool behaves just like with an onboard battery—only with less weight in your hands and more comfort over time.

What it works with

• Power source: STIHL AP System or AR backpack batteries
• Use with: AP belt with connecting cable
• Compatible AR batteries: STIHL AR 1000, AR 2000 L, AR 3000 L
• For: STIHL machines with a battery slot/charging connector

Advice from gardenmachineshop.com

Pair the ADA 100 with an AP belt and secure the cable along your clothing to prevent snags when moving through dense vegetation.
