HUSQVARNA JOIN CROSS-BRAND BATTERY GROUP

Husqvarna Group’s largest division, Husqvarna Forest & Garden, is now joining the Power for All Alliance with selected products.

The alliance, founded by Bosch and Husqvarna Group through its Gardena division in 2020, is described as one of the world's largest cross-brand battery alliances, enabling consumers to use the same battery for multiple devices in and around their home and garden.

Husqvarna develops and manufactures 36V and 94V batteries in-house. The Group is now expanding their collaboration with the Power for All Alliance by adding selected products from the Husqvarna brand to their Gardena and Flymo brands that are already part of the association.

A spokesperson said, "With a focus on consumer smart, cost-efficient battery solutions, Husqvarna is looking to launch a whole new range for garden owners within the coming year, which will be compatible with the Power for All battery system."

The Power for all Alliance is based on a common 18V battery system (produced by Bosch) for all brands affiliated with the alliance, enabling consumers to use the same battery and charger for multiple devices, regardless of manufacturer. The Alliance was founded by Bosch and Gardena in 2020 and now includes ten well-known manufacturers of battery-driven products for use in the home and garden. There are an installed base of around 25 million of these batteries on the market.

Husqvarna Group says they have the ambition to electrify 67% of its motorised products by 2026.
