Cordless Garden Sprayers: Handheld and Backpack Models 12–20 V

Handheld and shoulder sprayers of 2–8 l suit greenhouses, flowers and small plots, while 12–20 l backpack models suit orchards, vineyards and large areas. There are also universal models for disinfection and utility work. See how to choose a cordless tool.

Cordless sprayers usually work at 2–6 bar with a flow of 0.5–2 l/min. Pressure control lets you choose a fine mist for foliage or a directed jet for tall trees. Read what is working pressure.

Models with a built-in 12 V battery are more affordable, while interchangeable 18–20 V batteries are handy if you own other tools on the same platform. A 2–4 Ah battery usually lasts for several full tanks. See cordless tool voltage (V) and battery capacity (Ah).

Check whether the battery is built-in or interchangeable and whether a charger is included. A body-only version pays off if you already own compatible batteries. Read what is a unified battery platform and how to choose a battery and charger.

A backpack sprayer with a full 16 l tank weighs around 20 kg, so wide padded straps, a back support and a waist belt matter. A 50–120 cm or telescopic lance makes it easier to treat trees and tall shrubs. See tool ergonomics, weight, and safety systems.

When working with crop-protection products, wear a respirator, goggles, water-repellent clothing and chemical-resistant gloves, and do not spray in windy weather. Mix the solution outside the tank and do not leave it in the container for long. Read how to choose personal protective equipment and how to choose work gloves.

Ideally the kit includes cone, flat-fan and double nozzles, with filters at the tank opening and in front of the pump. Flush the system with clean water after work and replace worn nozzles and seals in good time. See how to choose spare parts for garden and forestry equipment.
