About the STIHL BGA 86 Cordless Handheld Leaf Blower (Shell Only)
Cordless Power for Outdoor Professional Work: STIHL BGA 86 Cordless Leaf Blower (Shell Only)
From landscaped business parks to busy public spaces, outdoor professionals need equipment that delivers dependable performance without unnecessary weight or excessive noise. The STIHL BGA 86 has been developed to meet those demands, combining impressive blowing power with cordless convenience in a compact, easy-to-handle machine.
Part of STIHL’s professional AP System, the STIHL BGA 86 cordless blower weighs just 2.8 kg without its battery, making it comfortable to carry throughout long working days. Despite its lightweight design, it produces a maximum blowing force of 15 Newtons, matching the performance of the respected STIHL BG 56 petrol blower.
A Shell-Only Machine for AP System Users
This STIHL BGA 86 battery blower is supplied as the machine only, making it an ideal addition for anyone who already owns compatible STIHL AP System batteries and chargers.
If you’re planning on using the AP battery platform for the first time, the recommended power source is STIHL’s AP 300 S battery. Depending on the workload, this combination provides an expected runtime of between 26 and 150 minutes.
For professionals tackling longer jobs, a STIHL BGA 86 with battery backpack configuration is also supported. To operate the machine using an AR backpack battery, you’ll require an AP Adapter, AR L Battery Connecting Cable, AR L Carrying System and either an AR 2000 L or AR 3000 L backpack battery—all of which are available to buy as optional extras.
Lightweight Handling with Complete Control
Comfort and control play a major role in the design of the BGA 86 cordless blower. Its compact dimensions make it easy to work around obstacles such as benches, trees, parked vehicles and planting schemes, allowing operators to clear confined spaces efficiently.
The integrated multifunction handle places every essential control in one convenient position. Because all operating functions are managed from this single handle, both left-handed and right-handed users can work comfortably.
An infinitely variable speed trigger allows the blowing force to be adjusted with high levels of precision. This helps you use only the power required for each task, improving control while helping to maximise battery efficiency.
Adjustable Airflow for Different Conditions
No two clean-up jobs are exactly the same. Dry leaves, damp grass clippings and heavier debris all require different amounts of airflow.
The STIHL BGA 86 Cordless Leaf Blower is supplied with a round nozzle that produces a maximum air velocity of 69 m/s and an air throughput of 780 m³/h. When extra concentration of airflow is required, an optional flat nozzle can be fitted. This increases maximum air velocity to 76 m/s while providing an air throughput of 710 m³/h, making it particularly effective for stubborn autumn and winter debris.
To help maintain optimum performance, the blower tube can be adjusted to three different lengths. Matching the tube to the operator’s height keeps the nozzle closer to the working surface, reducing unnecessary power loss while promoting a more comfortable working position.
Reliable Performance from Start to Finish
A key advantage of the STIHL battery blower BGA 86 is its Constant Power technology. Unlike many battery-powered machines that gradually lose performance as charge levels fall, the intelligent electronics inside this blower maintain a consistently high output throughout the battery cycle. As a result, your STIHL BGA 86 battery powered leaf blower continues delivering dependable clearing performance until it’s time to recharge.
This predictable power output helps professionals work efficiently without constantly adjusting their technique as the battery discharges.
Quiet Operation with All-Weather Capability
The BGA 86 leaf blower is well suited to locations where lower noise levels are important. Sound pressure at the operating position measures just 79 dB(A), falling to only 58 dB(A) at a distance of 15 metres. This makes the machine an excellent choice for schools, hospitals, residential areas and other noise-sensitive environments.
The STIHL blower BGA 86 is also certified to the IPX4 standard for splash-water protection. This means it can be used confidently during wet weather and light rain, helping professionals maintain productivity throughout the changing seasons.
Optional Accessories to Expand Capability
As touched on above, the BGA 86 STIHL blower is a versatile machine, compatible with a range of optional accessories. Alongside compatible AP batteries and chargers, you can purchase the STIHL Straight Flat Nozzle for increased air speed, as well as the AP Adapter, AR L Battery Connecting Cable and AR L Carrying System when using compatible backpack batteries.
These accessories allow the BGA 86 blower to be configured for different working environments and longer operating periods.
