The BGA 100 is a professional, handheld blower for gardeners and contractors. Part of the AP System and used in conjunction with the AR backpack batteries, or the battery belt (plus connecting lead), it produces optimum blowing power, with 3 power stages and the option of power boost for those really tough jobs.
At only 2.5 kg (not including battery), this well balanced, low noise blower makes for comfortable use over long periods, especially in noise-sensitive areas.
Power boost
Power boost will allow for full blowing power, simply by adding extra pressure to the trigger lever.
STIHL Electric Motor (EC)
The STIHL electric motor (EC) is extremely energy efficient, lightweight and compact. It runs quietly, generates very low vibrations and does not require servicing.
To run the BGA 100 with an AP battery, the following accessories need to be used:
Battery Belt with AP Holster with Connecting Cable or AP Carrying Backpack (see Options dropdown for kit or see Stihl Cordless Accessories)

Mike Horton (verified owner) –
Excellent blower, although a little less powerful than a petrol engine leaf blower, this
much lighter machine is extremely good and of course a lot less noisy so not needing
ear protectors. I operate mine with the AR3000 backpack battery and get a run time of just
over an hour on a full charge which I feel isn’t too bad given the power required.
Contractors may need to consider as to whether the run time is enough from a commercial
point of view, I suspect not but if working in an area where noise could pose a problem
then this might be the bit of of equipment worth consideration.
