STIHL CM 12 Charge Controller

Too many chargers, not enough sockets? The STIHL CM 12 Charge Controller keeps your workshop tidy and powered safely by letting you connect up to 12 STIHL chargers to a single 230 V outlet. Its intelligent load management distributes power so your batteries charge reliably without overloading the circuit.

Need certain batteries ready fast? Three priority slots ensure the linked fast chargers get first call on available power, so your most important batteries are topped up as soon as possible—ideal for overnight charging in professional settings.

Set it on a shelf or mount it securely on the wall; plug into a single 230 V, 16 A outlet; then label the chargers and cables with the included stickers for quick identification.
