Battery Power for Lawn equipment -- is it time?

I forgot to add that I also have the corded Oregon CS1500. Works great for my needs. However, if I was on a heavily wooded lot, or owned land in the woods, I would most certainly go with a hefty gas powered model, as you did.

Anyway, my point is that electric chainsaws work perfectly fine for the average homeowner.

 

The heavy is in relation to the battery pack it comes with it. Most battery operated chainsaws I checked use 40-80v single pack. And total weight with battery is less than equivalent power gas engine models with fuel. But, yeah, if they can make powerful enough battery chainsaw as today's 80cc and above gas engine model chainsaw, they may have to have more than a single pack of battery, that would make it heavy. Or, maybe they can make it with external battery pack with a cord, like other battery powered yard equipment.

 

Agreed. Of course, I suspect most average homeowner probably can do without any chainsaw. If you have no three to cut... or only small shrubs, a hand saw will serve fine.
