STIHL BGA 86 Cordless Leaf Blower - Tool Only

The STIHL BGA 86 is a lightweight, professional-grade cordless blower built for use in noise-sensitive settings like hospitals, schools, and residential neighborhoods. This listing is the bare tool only — a compatible AP System battery and charger are needed separately to operate it.

Quiet enough for sensitive locations

Sound output stays low enough that the BGA 86 can be run in areas with strict noise restrictions, without the disruption of a gas engine or louder cordless blowers.

Multi-function handle

The handle is designed to work comfortably for both right- and left-handed operators, and the tube extends across three length settings so users of different heights can find a comfortable operating position.

Infinitely variable speed control

Rather than fixed speed steps, the trigger offers infinitely variable speed control, letting the operator fine-tune airflow for delicate areas like flower beds versus open lawn areas.

Splashproof build

An IPX4 rating means light rain or morning dew won't interrupt a scheduled clean-up route.

Specifications

Frequently asked questions

Does this include a battery and charger?

No — this is the tool-only version. It requires a separately sold STIHL AP System battery and AL-series charger to run.

How long does it run on a charge?

With an AP 300 battery, runtime is up to 21 minutes; larger AP System batteries will extend that.

Is it suitable for noise-restricted areas?

Yes, at 58 dB(A) it's designed to operate quietly enough for hospitals, schools, and similar noise-sensitive locations.

What's the difference between the BGA 86 and the BGA 250?

The BGA 86 is lighter and quieter, aimed at general professional use, while the BGA 250 produces more blowing force (26 N vs 15 N) for heavier-duty clean-up.
