Stihl CM 8 Charging Management System

Professional Charging Management Solution

The STIHL CM 8 Charging Management System is a compact and intelligent solution for managing battery charging in professional environments. It allows up to eight chargers to be powered from a single socket, making it ideal for workshops, depots, and high-demand battery operations.

Smart Two-Stage Charging System

The CM 8 uses a two-bank charging design, splitting connected chargers into two groups of four. It charges the first bank before automatically switching to the second, allowing twice as many chargers to run safely from one power source.

Each bank supports a maximum load of 1840 W, ensuring controlled and reliable power distribution.

High Capacity and Flexible Compatibility

With support for 8 connected chargers, the CM 8 can charge up to 32 batteries simultaneously when used with STIHL AL 301-4 chargers. It can also be used with non-STIHL chargers, offering flexibility across mixed battery platforms.

Workshop-Optimised Design

The CM 8 is wall-mount compatible and can be combined with the STIHL CR 6 wall mount charging rack to improve organisation and save valuable workshop space.
