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.
