For the first time in my life I have tested a battery chainsaw. “Mixed emotions” could be a good conclusion of that test. I was positively surprised by the power and speed in the saw. The power-weight ratio was excellent. It was very silent, but noisier than I expected. I never realized that the chain make so much noice!

I know it differs between brands and types of batteries, but on the saw we tested, an Echo DCS 1600, the battery lasted 35 minutes. That is too short. Just imagine the pile of batteries you have to carry if you want to work a full day!
