Key features

High Cutting Performance
Optimized cutting speed, combined with the knife geometry with large teeth opening for excellent branch feeding, enable high efficiency and great cutting results.

Brushless E-TORQ Motor
The Husqvarna-developed E-TORQ motors are perfectly adapted for each application. The brushless design minimizes the number of moving parts and the motors are built to withstand tough, prolonged professional use. They are completely maintenance-free and will last for the product’s whole lifespan.

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.

Lightweight and Well Balanced
Slimmed and ergonomic design makes it lightweight and well balanced – allowing you to work comfortably in all situations.

Trim Cut Blades
The hardened steel blades, optimised teeth geometry and high knife speed increase productivity when trimming.

Integrated Connectivity
Machines with a built-in connectivity module can easily be connected to Husqvarna Fleet Services™. Allowing you to see each machine’s last known location, its usage stats and service history – and much more. This also facilitates updates of the machine’s firmware, so that it’s always compatible with the latest functions in Husqvarna Fleet Services™.

Intuitive Key Pad
The key pad is very easy to operate and equipped with LED indicators, showing the battery status.

3-speed Mode
The 3-speed mode allows you to maximise your runtime and cutting performance by adjusting the maximum knifespeed to the current working conditions.

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.

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.

Long Reach
The cutting bar is designed to give you a long reach, while still allowing you to work ergonomically.

Flexible BLi-X Battery System
The high performing BLi-X 36V battery system offers a wide range of options, from lightweight integrated- to backpack batteries. The batteries within our 36V system are built to be used over a long time, are quick to recharge and even quicker to swap for continuous use. Our BLi-X battery system allows flexible use in different Husqvarna tools. You will always find a tailored battery solution that perfectly suits your task at hand.

Metal Housing
The robust but very slimmed metal housing is one of many durable elements on the product. It is designed to protect motor and gears.

Ergonomic Handle
Ergonomically shaped handle provides great comfort and easy access to the controls.

Manual Gear Rotation
The gear can also be rotated manualy with a standard tool, enabeling easy and time saving blade service.

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.

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.

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 the battery and charger included?
No. The machine is supplied without battery and charger. It uses Husqvarna’s 36 V BLi‑X battery system; batteries and chargers are sold separately.
Can I use the 525iHF3 in the rain?
Yes. The trimmer meets IPX4 for rain resistance, so it can be used in wet conditions, but avoid heavy water jets, immersion and always follow the safety and maintenance instructions in the manual.
What routine maintenance does it need?
Brushless motor technology reduces routine servicing. You should keep blades clean and sharp, check for damage, and use the manual gear rotation feature (with a standard tool) for easy blade service. Follow the service schedule in the handbook for full instructions.
