Professional performance doesn’t need petrol anymore

Husqvarna – one of the world’s leading producers of forest, park and garden products - has been working with professional users for more than 50 years. This experience and knowledge - in combination with pioneer thinking and first-class engineering - has given rise to a number of innovative machines. Machines that help forest workers and landscapers as well as landowners and garden enthusiasts solve their daily challenges. Husqvarna is now adding a new chapter to their history of innovations - the Husqvarna Battery Series.

Husqvarna’s comprehensive range of battery-operated equipment, which includes chainsaws, top handle saws, brushcutters, hedge trimmers, pole pruners and leaf blowers, offers the user all the power of petrol performance but with the benefits of battery technology and the convenience of cordless.  There are solutions in Husqvarna’s battery range to take care of the needs of both homeowners as well as professional users.

Let’s take a look at some of the advantages offered by Husqvarna’s battery technology:

Lasting power: Husqvarna’s Li-ion 36V batteries provide long lasting power and top class performance. They are equipped with a cooling system, which extends the battery cells’ lifetime and lets you work in high temperatures.

Simple operation: Smart and intuitive, the battery machines are operated using an interactive keypad. You start and stop the machines easily by pushing a button.

No emissions: Quiet, exhaust-free operation mean that battery units are ideal for working indoors.

Longer operating time: When conditions aren’t on the tough side, choose the SavE™ mode on the intuitive keypad for maximised runtime with great results.

Convenience: The 36V Li-ion battery pack is designed for demanding, long lasting use and fits all of our machines, allowing you to quickly switch the same battery between equipment and just keep on working.

Consistent torque: Husqvarna’s in-house developed, advanced brushless motor (available in all Husqvarna’s 5-series battery products) is 25% more efficient than a standard brush motor. This means that the motor provides high and consistent torque for maximum performance.

Low maintenance: No refilling of fuel, less parts to service and an electronically controlled drive system means less downtime and low operation costs.

Comfortable use: Husqvarna’s battery machines have a compact, slimmed-down design, exceptional product balance, comfortable handle grips and intuitive controls allowing you to work comfortably in all situations.

Quiet operation: The low noise level provides a comfortable work situation and less disturbance for others, enabling longer working hours and the ability to work in noise sensitive areas such as schools, office parks and hospitals.

Two-way rotation: The trimmer head on Husqvarna’s battery trimmers can rotate in both directions so grass clippings can be directed away from walkways, giving a tidy result and eliminating the need for sweeping.

Cost effectiveness: Don’t let the initial purchase price put you off.  What you invest upfront when buying a battery machine will soon be offset by the saving in operational costs, which are negligible when compared to the cost of refuelling a petrol tank.  You will also save on maintenance costs.
