How one release on the first battery saw they bought out. Didn’t fall out thankfully. This was discussed a while ago I think so you’re not alone. That’s one of the things I prefer about the stihl that the battery is mounted from the top

Odd, I have the 536 and that has never happened. 
The groundy has occasionally not slotted it in correctly, but there is no power so it’s obvious. 
Have you managed to replicate it falling out on the ground? (If you see what I mean)

H&S Risk assess that for the Groundie below..... 
It seems to be a common issue with the Husky 540 battery saw.

Not had a problem personally.  The 200x batteries  seems to lock in perfectly (although they are a little fragile, alas).  The 300 batteries are a little prone to being a bit more fiddly to lock in initially, but as @Mick Dempsey reckoned, you know instantly due to the lack of power!

 

I guess it’s a case of getting the groundy used to inserting the battery and then blipping the saw to confirm it is in properly.

I’ve noticed the battery releasing a few times now. Not dropping out, but a ‘first stage release’ if you like. T540i with 200x batteries. Considering doing as others have and putting a releasable strap around the battery unit to make sure it can’t come out.

Had it with the 520he3 hedge trimmer,was running and cutting then the battery fell out mid use and smashed the casing.

My battery pops out a notch occasionally and saw won’t work but has never fallen out.

Some thick elastic and velcro would make a good strap!

I have noticed the groundie not pushing it in all the way properly and it being loose when I’ve pulled it up but not otherwise
