The BRA 500 and BRA 600 battery-powered backpack blowers are ideal for maintaining green spaces.
The new powerful BRA 500 and BRA 600 backpack battery-powered blowers have been developed by Stihl for landscaping and gardening professionals for quick and effective cleaning of large areas in parks, lawns, paths, and roads.
Thanks to their high blowing force (up to 32 N for the BRA 500 and up to 35 N for the BRA 600), they easily remove even wet and heavy leaves, cut grass, hedge trimmings, and debris. The blowing power of the BRA 500 and BRA 600 remains constant throughout the battery life, with no drop in performance during use.
In fact, they are defined as constant-power tools because they maintain the same performance throughout the entire charge. This is thanks to an intelligent electronic system that automatically regulates the output energy: when the battery voltage decreases, the current increases, so that the overall power remains unchanged. This means that the tool always works with the same power, right up to the last second. This distinguishes them from battery-powered tools from other brands, whose performance gradually decreases as the battery discharges.
They are also very practical: their blower tube is adjustable and can be shortened in seconds to work in confined spaces; it can then be easily extended again. The weight of the new BRA 500 and BRA 600 professional blowers is distributed evenly and comfortably across the operator’s back thanks to an ergonomic system with S-shaped shoulder straps and a waist belt.
Powerful Electric Motors and Silent Operation
The high-performance EC motors in the BRA 500 and BRA 600 ensure smooth operation and low vibration. The energy required for their high power is supplied by 2 Stihl AP batteries. For optimal energy management, the power can be adjusted via the digital control unit on the multifunction handle, by choosing from 4 predefined levels (levels 1, 2, 3, and continuous Boost mode, which allows maximum blowing power to always be available by pressing the gear lever, regardless of the preselected level). In addition, the throttle can be locked in any position, even in intermediate positions, to reduce the strain on the index finger during longer and more constant operations. Thanks to the Stihl Noise Reduction system, the BRA 500 and BRA 600 operate very quietly, making them ideal for use in noise-sensitive environments such as densely populated areas. The reduction of high frequencies also contributes to a more pleasant sound. In fact, the Noise Reduction Control system reduces noise, improves sound quality, and ensures low noise levels.
Battery Charging
A display also shows useful information such as the battery charge status. At the push of a button, the LED charge status indicator provides information about the remaining battery capacity at any time, allowing you to plan your work schedule and charge the batteries in good time.
The BRA 500 and BRA 600 are equipped with the Stihl connected system as standard, which allows you, for example, to activate the “energy saving” mode via the app for less demanding jobs, thus significantly extending the working time. Thanks to the Stihl connected system, you always have a complete overview of your tool fleet and automatically receive device data, including operating hours and maintenance status. This allows you to determine the ideal composition of your tool fleet.
IPX4 Certified and Maximum Performance with Stihl AP 500 S Batteries
The Stihl BRA 500 and Stihl BRA 600 are designed for regular professional use, even in difficult weather conditions, and are equipped with splashwater protections. These protections have been tested to rigorous standards based on IPX4 parameters. In fact, the BRA 500 and BRA 600 are officially certified to IPX4 protection class. To get the most out of the BRA 500 and BRA 600, Stihl recommends using two Stihl AP 500 S batteries. For less demanding jobs, as an alternative to two AP 500 S batteries, Stihl recommends using two Stihl AP 200 / AP 200 S batteries or two Stihl AP 300 / AP 300 S batteries.
