Husqvarna expands its battery-powered range with new grass trimmers and brushcutters that match or even outperform petrol-powered versions. Like existing handheld battery-powered products, the new members of the professional Husqvarna 500 series can be operated in a truly cordless way without any connection cables or external batteries. For those that need maximum runtime, the products can also be run with a backpack battery.
Husqvarna is also launching a new range of batteries for full-time professional use. Like a growing number of Husqvarna’s battery-powered products, the new batteries are equipped with built-in Bluetooth® wireless technology that makes it easy to connect to Husqvarna Fleet Services™. The new batteries make it possible to switch even more applications from petrol to battery.
Highly productive grass trimmers, brushcutters, edgers and combi machine for the 25cc-equivalent segment
Husqvarna’s new 525i electric grass trimmers and brushcutters perform equivalent to 25cc petrol products, but with lower noise and without direct emissions during operation. The combination of the Husqvarna-developed E-Torq motor, a market-leading cutting diameter, and a high power-to-weight ratio, makes it possible to be even more productive and cut more in less time. The active battery cooling system enables high productivity also in the most demanding conditions. All models are equipped with an innovative digital user interface, that shows the battery status and lets the user easily switch between three speed modes. The 525iRXT and 525iLXT are equipped with the ErgoFeed™ trimmer head, where the trimmer line can be fed by simply pushing a button.
New batteries for more powerful battery products
The new professional Husqvarna BLi-X battery range comes with state-of-the art cell technology that produces the right power and runtime for each type of job. Just like Husqvarna’s battery products in the 500 series, the new PRO batteries fulfil the IPX4 classification for water resistance, making them reliable in all weather conditions. The batteries were designed for safe and easy handling, and fit all products in the Husqvarna BLi-X range. The new Husqvarna BLi-X 36V batteries come with three different capacity levels and will make it easier for customers to choose battery-powered products as they’ll match or even exceed the performance of petrol-powered equivalents. The new batteries feature ActiveCool, a system that enables active cooling both during charging and discharging. This helps retain the productivity even in demanding conditions, prolong the battery’s lifetime and enables effective charging. The batteries represent the next step towards the switch from petrol to battery power.
