Q: Are the batteries Interchangeable?

A: All tools in the STIHL ALLPRO / AP Battery System use the same battery platform, allowing you to interchange batteries between compatible tools. However, for the FSA 400, we recommend using the highest-capacity batteries, such as the AP 300 P, to ensure you get the maximum power and performance the tool is designed to deliver. Smaller batteries may operate the tool, but they won't provide the same cutting performance or runtime.
