What is the best battery operated chain saw

   / What is the best battery operated chain saw #151  
At 600ft you need a heavy gauge cable, and really should be running a higher voltage that is later split/dropped. As to cost, a 100ft Copper, 10GA Extension cable, will run you around a 100 bucks currently.

600ft extension, even at 10ga, gonna cost you some losses. In reality you would need appx a #2 or 3 Cable for 20Amps at that distance.

Too many questions, but what are you trying to accomplish?

You are of course right
I was just trying to point out to the poster that an extension cord and an electric chain saw was not really a practical alternative to a battery chainsaw. Didn't think i needed to go farther into it. :)

My old Black & Decker 18V Ni-Cad had a fiberglass pole with a removable middle section as well. I
have retired it with the purchase of the Greenworks 40V. The latter uses a thin steel 3-section pole,
rather than fiberglass.

I am using it mostly now with the center section out. I find it way superior to the heavy Stihl and Echo
gas polesaws.

True enough... I bought a corded version of the pole saw at HF for under $60 before really thinking about going the battery route since I am already heavily invested in the Dewalt 20v tools. As far as I know there is no chainsaw options for Dewalt. Is this correct? I do have a 20v reciprocating saw I also use for pruning.

Haven’t seen one but would love a dewalt pole saw.

Cut some firewood today with my Ryobi 40 volt saw a wild cherry tree and a dead ash, with one battery I cut enough to fill my bucket, 5' wide and about 2' high, impressed how well it cuts if only the battery would last longer.

Do you have an idea how long it took to cut?

Dewalt has a 60V fletvolt chainsaw. And a 20V one also. No pole saw though.

I did the same thing and bought the HF corded pole saw since $59 seemed like an amazing price. Then they came out with their cordless one a couple months later and I felt like an idiot.

I think some of the lower end cordless are disappointment waiting to happen.

The $59 corded should provide years of occasional use...

Confident you will get your value.

I'm only on the Battery kick because we have made the investment for the tree farm... all I need is the shells... not batteries as not much cutting happens at the farm for 10 months of the year so I can use the farm batteries...

My neighbors son is a Tree guy in Santa Cruz mountains and was visiting last Sunday and saw all my Stihl stuff... he was impressed and very interested in what I thought of the Stihl AP300 battery stuff...

Sometimes they are doing work in town and get complaints from noise of trimming... he was thinking adding and electric saw might make sense... they sure run quiet... which is one of the reasons the tree farm bought one to start... noise ordinance kicks in at 9 and no longer an issue with the electrics...

Probably no more than 30 minutes, most of the time cutting without stopping .
