Stihl BRA 500 Cordless Backpack Blower
The Stihl BRA 500 cordless backpack blower is a high-performance battery-powered solution tailored for professional and commercial outdoor cleanup. It delivers power equal to petrol blowers but with low sound, zero emissions, and consistent output from start to finish.
Powerful 72 V Brushless Motor
Powered by two AP 36 V batteries (72 V system), the BRA 500 produces an impressive blowing force of 32 N—comparable to a petrol BR 600—but runs quietly at just 64 dB(A) thanks to its radial fan and noise suppression design. It maintains full power throughout the discharge cycle, ensuring no drop-off in performance.
Ergonomic, Weather-Ready Design
Weighing around 14.5 kg with batteries, the blower places motor and batteries close to the backplate for excellent balance. A three-point harness with S‑shaped shoulder straps and optional waist belt distributes load and reduces fatigue during long shifts. The unit holds an IPX4 splash-resistant rating.
Smart Controls & Adjustable Operation
A digital HMI handle display gives control over four power modes—ECO, Mid, High, and Boost—as well as cruise control and battery diagnostics. The blower tube length can be quickly adjusted without tools, and a tube holder secures it during transport.
Professional Features & Utility
The blower includes two nozzle types: a volume nozzle for dry leaves and an air-speed nozzle for wet debris. An aluminum base tube adds durability during transport, and an energy recovery function returns unused battery energy to prolong runtime.
Low Maintenance & Connectivity
The battery system is AP‑compatible, with LED charge-level indicator, cruise control, and connectivity via Stihl Connected for fleet management and usage tracking. Its simple design minimizes wear and reduces service intervals.
