One battery system fits the whole range · All four packs rated for 1,500 charge cycles

40-B220X

formerly BLi200

The all-rounder — the sweet spot of weight and runtime.

40-B330X

formerly BLi300

High capacity for longer sessions and bigger properties.

40-B540X

handheld

The largest handheld pack — extended runtime on demanding work.

BLi950X

backpack

All-day power for professionals working continuously.

Chainsaws

Working time on one charge

Battery	550i XP *		540i XP · T540i XP **
Battery	Take down	Log cut	Take down	Pruning in tree	Log cut
40-B220X	25m	15m	30m	1h 15m	20m
40-B330X	30m	20m	45m	2h	30m
40-B540X	40m	30m	1h 15m	3h 15m	50m
BLi950X	3h 45m	1h 30m	3h 45m	9h 45m	1h 30m

* Full capacity only with the 40-B540X. The 550i XP is a ground-use saw and is not rated for pruning in the tree. ** Full capacity only with the 40-B220X or 40-B330X.

Job type outweighs battery size: a 40-B540X gives 3h 15m pruning in the tree but only 50m of continuous log cutting.

Pole saw & power ascender

Up in the tree

Battery	Pole saw	Power ascender
Battery	530iPT5 · pruning	Husqvarna × Skylotec · climbing
40-B220X	2h 15m	230 m
40-B330X	3h 30m	420 m
40-B540X	5h 40m	—
BLi950X	11h 30m	—

The power ascender is rated in metres climbed, not minutes, and runs on the 40-B220X and 40-B330X only.

One 40-B330X carries a climber 420 metres up — and the same pack prunes for 3h 30m on the pole saw.

Grass trimmers

Light vs tough grass

Battery	525iLK		520iLX
Battery	Light	Tough	Light	Tough
40-B220X	45m	30m	1h 30m	45m
40-B330X	1h 15m	40m	2h 15m	1h 15m
40-B540X	2h	1h	3h 40m	2h
BLi950X	4h 10m	2h 15m	8h 15m	4h 15m

Tough grass costs you about half the runtime of light trimming — size up if you clear rough ground.

Hedge trimmers

Light vs tough hedges

Battery	522iHD60		520iHE3 · 520iHT4
Battery	Light	Tough	Light	Tough
40-B220X	2h 15m	1h 20m	2h 20m	1h 10m
40-B330X	3h 35m	2h 5m	3h 45m	1h 45m
40-B540X	5h 50m	3h 25m	6h 25m	2h 50m
BLi950X	12h	7h	12h 30m	6h

Overgrown hedges roughly halve your runtime — plan around the tough column, not the light one.

Leaf blowers

Light vs tough blowing

Battery	530iB		340iBT *		550iBTX **
Battery	Light	Tough	Light	Tough	Light	Tough
40-B220X	40m	15m	35m	35m	—	—
40-B330X	1h	35m	45m	45m	—	—
40-B540X	1h 40m	55m	n/a	n/a	—	—
BLi950X	3h 30m	3h 30m	—	—	1h 45m	1h

* 340iBT figures are for two batteries. ** The 550iBTX runs on the BLi950X backpack battery only. n/a = not published by Husqvarna.

Blowers are the hungriest tool in the range — on the 530iB, tough blowing burns through a 40-B220X in 15 minutes.

Mowers & work light

Working time on one charge

Battery	LC 347iVX	LC 142i	WL 8i work light
Battery	Mowing	Mowing	1000 lm	4000 lm	8000 lm
40-B220X	25m	50m	26h	7h	3h 30m
40-B330X	35m	1h 15m	48h	13h	6h 30m
40-B540X	—	—	—	—	—
BLi950X	—	—	—	—	—

These four tools run on the 40-B220X and 40-B330X only.

One 40-B330X runs the WL 8i work light for two full days at 1000 lumens — or lights a whole site at 8000 lm for 6h 30m.

Charging times

To 80% and to full

Battery	40-C750X		40-C500X · 40-C1000X4 *		40-C1000X4 **
Battery	80%	100%	80%	100%	80%	100%
40-B220X	20m	45m	20m	45m	50m	1h 5m
40-B330X	20m	40m	35m	50m	1h 20m	1h 30m
40-B540X	40m	1h	55m	1h 30m	1h 50m	2h 20m
BLi950X	1h 30m	2h 30m	2h	2h 50m	—	—

* Charging up to two batteries at once. ** Charging a full bank of four at once. All four batteries are rated for 1,500 charge cycles.

Four at once is slower per pack, but you return to four charged batteries — a full bank of 40-B220X in 1h 5m.
