Stihl battery belts

Posted by Adam Woods on May 19, 2021 at 9:47am in Machinery

Morning, we've just tried to use our spangly new HSA94T. Two of us have tried it over the last 90 mins. No matter how we attach the battery pack to our belts within about 5 mins the velcro gives way....Does anyone else have one of these, and does it work?? There's two bits of velcro, one holds the pack level with the belt, although the velcro is thicker that gives way most reliably, then there is another one which hands the battery below the belt...it's just not man enough for the job and gives way within 10 mins.

Thanks

    Hi, I use my HSA94's with the shoulder harness braces gizmo which has the battery holster attached to it, so am not familiar with attaching the pouch itself to one's own belt. I wonder if it is intended to be attached to the actual Stihl battery belt that they sell

      Are the one our dealer said we didn't need, but this morning when we called told us ours is the first he has sold 😡

        Yes maybe well worth getting the belt with the shoulder harness straps as they spread the weight a bit and stop the belt sliding down ones snake like hips

    The velcro makes a loop so the belt goes behind loop and the velco fits onto itself, if you try to put the belt trought the velcro it lets go. I can post a picture if you need one.

      I wouldn't mind seeing a picture if it's not too much trouble

      Yes, a pic would be good thanks Dave. I went to our supplier today, and they had no idea :(

    with the stihl battery belt a good feature is that you can slide the battery pouch around to a different location if its annoying you. I wouldn't want it weighing down my actual belt that holds up my trouser

    The battery holster that i have has 2 loops. One small that exyends up from the top inside edge and looks like it is designed to be a belt loop. It is useless and gives up almost instantly. The bigger loop on the back of the holster works fine.no issuses. Poor design on the small loop😒

      i have a feeling that top loop is designed for feeding the cable through so that you can alter the working length

    I also have the shoulder strap addition. Works well, I've never had a problem with it and it has always been comfortable (I was sceptical before buying it)
