Product overview
A lightweight, battery-powered grass trimmer designed for professional users. The 520iLX has a loop handle, two-way rotation T25B trimmer head and an efficient brushless motor. It’s well balanced (3 kg excl. battery), weather resistant (IPX4) and intended for gardeners, landscapers and contractors. Note: battery and charger are not included.
Two-way rotation for cleaner walkways
Change the trimmer head rotation to reduce the amount of cut grass left on paths and paved areas. The two-way rotation makes edging and finishing tidier with less follow-up work.
Through-body battery design for balance and protection
The battery sits horizontally through the body, keeping the pack near the tool’s centre of gravity and rotational axis for improved manoeuvrability. The design also reduces dirt and moisture ingress to the battery compartment and accepts different battery sizes.
Efficient brushless motor with consistent power
The in-house brushless motor is around 25% more efficient than a standard brushed motor and delivers consistent torque even when cutting thick or wet grass. Linear Power Output and Synchronized Output help maintain performance across the battery’s charge.

Key features

Dual direction
The rotational direction of the trimmer head can be changed for less grass on walk ways.

Battery Through Body Design (Pat.pend.)
Smart battery pack position, placed horizontally through the body of the machine. Reduces the risk of having dirt, chips, dust and water accumulate in the battery compartment, causing connector issues. Also, it means the weight of the battery can be placed in or near the desired centre of gravity and in the rotational axis of the product, resulting in increased maneuverability. The through body design also offers a high degree of flexibility since it allows battery packs of different sizes to be used.

Efficient brushless motor
Our in-house developed, advanced brushless motor is 25 % more efficient than a standard brush motor. This means that the motor provides a high and consistent torque – even when you cut high, thick or wet grass.

Linear Power Output
Specially selected components, intelligent electronics, and an efficient cooling system ensure consistent, high output power regardless of the battery’s charge level. This helps maintain productivity throughout use.

Weatherproof (IPX4)
This battery-powered Husqvarna machine fulfils the IPX4 classification for rain resistance. This makes it a long-lasting and reliable tool that can be used all year round in all weather conditions.

Intuitive keypad
The battery machines are operated using an interactive keypad. You start and stop the machines easily by pushing a button. There’s also a savE button for maximising the runtime. The trimmers have an extra button for changing the trimmer head’s direction of rotation.

Lightweight and well balanced
Our machines have a compact, slimmed construction with the front handle close to the centre of gravity. This makes them lightweight and well balanced – allowing you to work comfortably in all situations.

Maximum runtime
Choose between normal or savE™ mode, depending on conditions, for maximum power or maximum runtime. Either way, you’ll always get a perfect result.

Synchronized Output
This technology features intelligent interaction between the tool and battery, ensuring optimized output power for each specific combination. To extend battery life, the output power can also be temporarily adjusted in situations where the tool is used too intensively.

Power-Conserving savE™ Mode
SavE™ mode maximises the run time, reduces noise levels and preserves product battery life by lowering the rpm. Ideal for tasks that do not require full power. Just press the button to turn savE™ mode on and off.

Interchangeable Battery System
Able to be used in all Husqvarna battery tools, our lithium-ion batteries are durable, easy to swap and recharge quickly

Quiet Operation
Low noise levels create pleasant work and enable longer working hours, even in the most public settings. The noise level from our battery machines is up to 13 dB(A) lower than a petrol machine. A reduction of 3 dB(A) is usually perceived as a halving of the noise level.

High Line Capacity
Heavy duty twin line cutting system with Tap’n Go. Line feeding is done quick and effortlessly by simply pushing the trimmer head into the ground.

Low Maintenance
No fuel refilling, fewer parts and electronically-controlled drive system for less downtime

Low Carbon Emissions
By choosing this product, you can feel confident that it produces lower carbon emissions during active use compared to a traditional petrol product. This battery-driven product does not emit any CO₂ during use while still providing the power and quality that you expect from a Husqvarna product. However, it’s important to note that CO₂ emissions are generated during other stages of the product´s lifecycle, such as production, charging and end-of-life disposal.

FAQs
Will this fit my machine?
Fitment can vary by model and deck size. Send us your mower model (and deck size if applicable) and we’ll confirm compatibility before you order.
Do I need any extra brackets or fitting kits?
Some accessories require a mounting kit or specific brackets depending on your machine. If you’re unsure, ask us and we’ll advise the correct setup.
Can you fit it for me?
Yes — if you’d like installation, let us know when ordering and we can arrange fitting (collection, workshop fit, or on-site depending on the product).
Is a battery or charger supplied with the 520iLX?
No. The product is supplied without battery or charger. Use Husqvarna lithium‑ion batteries from the interchangeable 36 V range.
Which batteries are compatible and how do I maximise runtime?
The 520iLX accepts Husqvarna 36 V lithium‑ion batteries within the interchangeable system. Runtime depends on battery capacity; selecting a higher‑capacity pack increases working time. Use savE™ mode for lower rpm and extended runtime where full power is not required.
What basic maintenance does the 520iLX need?
Keep the cutting head and guard clear of debris, check and replace line as needed, and wipe connectors clean before fitting batteries. Although the brushless motor reduces routine upkeep, inspect the tool regularly and follow authorised dealer guidance for any gearbox or mechanical service. The tool is IPX4 rated—suitable in rain but avoid submersion and dry before storage.
