I've got the stihl msa200 with a pair of ap300's and the fast charger.
I love it.
Just needs an off button and an oil light.

what do you mean by off button?

oil light would be a good idea as if not fueling I will likely forget to top oil up as I always do both together

Google (or t'other search engine or your choice), type in

" Arbtalk battery saw "

You'll get plenty of hits and answers straight away. In particular Battery chainsaw recomendation was done quite recently.....

HTH.

Hi, just used my new msa 200 for the first time yesterday, well impressed. A garden clean up, generally used it all afternoon pruning small trees and cutting up anything of size for the fire......it went down to 2 bars on the battery but by the time I got home it was back up at 3....looking forward to seeing how much firewood I can do on 1 charge,   +1 for the ap300 battery.

 

The chainbrake is the off switch...but not really any use when released to access the chain... so I recon it's real important to take the battery out before messing with the chain, a light for the oil would probably be handy as on my other cheap Chinese battery saw I often forget. cheers.
