If you know about the Litheli battery, you also know it doesn't fit.

I want a battery saw pretty bad. My buddy likes his dewalt 20v 12", but that feels too small. So if I want a 16" bar, sounds like the deWalt cant use my existing 20v batteries. If I have to get new batteries and charger, should I just go with stihl? Tough call.
Echo also makes one. They are a good company and generally more affordable than Stihl or Husky.
I would look at chain size. I believe they all are running the tiny chains. If Icould find one with a 3/8, that’s probably what I’ll get.

Well the narrow chain is obviously on purpose, to reduce cutting force and extend the battery life. I don't have any experience with them, only have 3/8 for my bigger stihl gas saws. Are the narrow ones harder to sharpen?

Sthil electric chain saws don't get the best reviews and they are by far the most expensive.
Based on these reviews I am considering either the Makita or Dewalt.
Also, because of the low speed torque of an electric chain saw, most protective chaps are NOT rated for electric saws.

indeed! I love helping other folks here spend theirs too.
So now my question is, what is the difference between the DCCS670B and the DCCS670x1 ? I presume the "B" is the older model?

Project Farm has some good reviews, but there have been a lot of changes in the battery chainsaw market since those videos came out.
I ended up with a Milwaukee M18 - it got a decent rating, but I mainly got it because I already had a lot of Milwaukee M18 tools already, so I have a good stock of batteries. It's roughly equivalent to a decent 40cc gas saw.
The Stihl MSA 300 sounds like an interesting option. When coupled with their AP 500 S battery hey claim it's equivalent to their pro-level 50 cc saw, the MS 261. It does not seem to be available yet in the US (and I'm sure it's going to be expensive when it does show up).

If I am going to do a significant amount of work, I always have a gas saw (Stihl 462) and an electric saw (EGO 56V 18" saw.)
The Stihl bucks logs, and it far outclasses anything electric that I've seen. But the electric shines for doing limbing and bucking smaller stuff. The electric is lighter weight, quiet, and I don't have to fuel it or pull start it. Saves a lot of wear and tear by the end of the day.
