STIHL connected is a digital solution for managing your power tools, allowing you to organise your day-to-day work intelligently and efficiently, so you can get the most out of your equipment every day.
Visit your nearest STIHL Approved Dealer to find out more about the advantages of STIHL connected for managing and maintaining your power tools.
With STIHL connected, we have created a digital solution that offers you real added value in your day-to-day work. This is provided through the optimal interplay of the following components and applications.
The STIHL Smart Connector and the Smart Connector 2 A record relevant operating data and transmit this to the STIHL connected App.
The STIHL AR 2000 L and AR 3000 L backpack batteries and the STIHL AP 500 S battery all have our connected technology integrated with a built-in Bluetooth® interface. This makes it possible to view the charge level, duration of use and serial number in the STIHL connected App and the STIHL connected Portal.
The STIHL connected App lets you keep an eye on everything, even when you’re out and about, and view the status and locations of your power tools at any time. Thanks to the practical “Nearby” function, you can immediately identify if a power tool is missing after an outdoor assignment, so you will never again leave anything behind after finishing a job.
The machine data stored in the STIHL Cloud is then available for you to access in the STIHL connected Portal at any time, facilitating evaluation, detailed analysis and efficient planning of your activities.
Analyse, manage and plan your fleet of power tools and operations whenever and wherever you want. Ask for more information and tips about digital power tool management from your STIHL dealer at any time.
We have developed advanced digital power tool management so that you can concentrate on the essentials and work even more efficiently. You can find everything you need here or at your STIHL dealer.
Which of my power tools are compatible with the STIHL Smart Connector?
The majority of our hand-held STIHL tools are compatible with the Smart Connector, and the Smart Connector can also be used with power tools from other manufacturers.

The Smart Connector 2 A is only compatible with STIHL cordless tools that have been specially designed for use with it, and have a recess in the casing specifically for the Connector, although other compatible power tools are set to follow in the near future.
