Battery powered chainsaw

Snobdds - I think you can replace the cells in the batteries. I do know its common for the Ryobi batteries. Not sure on Dewalts. From what I see (I haven't actually replaced them yet, but I have two batteries to rebuild) it looks much easier that replacing rings in an old worn out saw.

I cut up a 18" poplar that fell with my Milwaukee. It has great power and the larger batteries (9mAh??) last a surprisingly long time. Best of all, no hard starting. Works right off the bat.

Anything is possible if you have the time, knowledge, and access to correct parts. I don't doubt someone has replaced the cells.

My stihl and huskys come with warranties too, but I never pay attention to their length.

I just aquired a Stihl 090 and a McCulloch Super Pro 125 that are older than me to cut some huge Cottonwoods along ditches. I wonder in 40 years if a guy will go out of his way to buy a 2020 dewalt battery chainsaw?
Makes a person wonder why you would need to keep acquiring saws if they all last forever.

Some people will argue that the batteries with go bad and you can't find replacements in X years. I'd say that might be a reasonable thing worry about. :unsure:
If one is handy enough, batteries can be repaired:

Parts may be a hassle though...

Well bill...trees continue to keep growing. Plus when you have a ranch, a cabin, and a ski chalet in the mountains...I like to have lots of saws at each place for each type of cutting.

My B&D stock appreciates your repeat business...

Stock up on those batteries...
I don't own such.
Please continue with your obtuse comments. It seems to be your stock in trade on these forums, big boy. I enjoy watching people make fools of themselves. Over and out dealing with comments born out of ignorance. Enjoy your gas powered life.

I feel you're giving up on your point. You were just about to convince me, but now I have to suffer with my old reliables.
