Estimated runtimes for Light grass cutting with 220iL (tool only).

Runtimes for the backpack battery are not shown by default. To view them, please select the checkbox above.

Battery runtime on a single charge depends on several factors such as battery capacity, which kind of machine it powers, the type of application, and external conditions such as ambient temperature and weather. Battery runtime is also influenced by e.g. the battery’s age and health status, the battery’s usage history and remaining capacity, and how the equipment is operated and the power level of the application. The battery runtimes shown are “up to” values based on internal testing of products in energy saving mode, including typical work, basic maintenance, and movement/climbing. These figures are guidelines only and may vary between tasks, settings, and environments, and are not guaranteed to be repeatable in real-world use.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Husqvarna 220iL string trimmer come with a battery and charger?

No, this specific model is sold as a "tool only" bare product. The battery and charger are not included. If you do not already own a Husqvarna 40V lithium-ion battery and charger, you will need to purchase them separately or look for the 220iL kit that includes these items.

Which batteries are compatible with the Husqvarna 220iL string trimmer?

The Husqvarna 220iL is compatible with Husqvarna’s interchangeable 40V lithium-ion battery system. Recommended batteries include the 40-B140 and BLi22, which can easily be swapped into other 40V Husqvarna battery-powered yard tools.

How much does the Husqvarna 220iL string trimmer weigh?

The Husqvarna 220iL bare tool weighs just 7.41 lbs (excluding the battery and cutting equipment). Even with a battery attached, it maintains a best-in-class weight of around 10 lbs, making it incredibly maneuverable and reducing user fatigue.

What is the cutting width of the Husqvarna 220iL?

The Husqvarna 220iL features a 16-inch cutting width. This wide cutting path allows you to efficiently clear larger patches of thick grass and weeds in less time compared to standard 13-inch or 14-inch models.

What does the DualDirection trimmer head do?

The exclusive DualDirection trimmer head on the 220iL allows you to reverse the rotation of the trimmer line with the simple push of a button. This feature gives you total control over where the grass clippings are thrown, keeping debris out of your garden beds and off your sidewalks.

Does the Husqvarna 220iL have a brushless motor?

Yes, the Husqvarna 220iL is equipped with a highly efficient BLDC (brushless) motor capable of reaching up to 6,800 RPM. Brushless motors provide better torque, longer tool life, and maximize battery runtime compared to traditional brushed motors.

How do you edge lawns with the Husqvarna 220iL?

The 220iL makes edging effortless thanks to its trimmer head design. You can easily adjust the head to create crisp, precise edges along sidewalks, driveways, and garden beds without needing a dedicated edging tool.

What is Boost Mode on the Husqvarna 220iL?

Boost Mode is a feature on the 220iL’s premium control pad that delivers 25% more power on demand. It is ideal for tackling patches of thick, wet grass or heavy weed overgrowth without draining the battery during standard, lighter trimming.

What type of replacement trimmer line does the Husqvarna 220iL use?

The 220iL comes equipped with the T25B Trimmer head which can accept .065"-.095" trimmer line diameters. The recommended trimmer line diameter is .080" for this battery trimmer. A great option is the Titanium Force trimmer line: https://www.husqvarna.com/us/trimmer-lines/titanium-force-trimmer-line/

Is the Husqvarna 220iL quieter than a gas string trimmer?

Yes, as a battery-powered tool, the 220iL produces significantly less noise and vibration than a comparable gas-powered trimmer. This allows you to work comfortably for longer periods and makes it an excellent choice for neighborhoods with noise restrictions.
