Battery saw trigger time

[slim reaper]

Has anyone done a more accurate run time for a battery saw than the more commonly used measurement of "lasts for ages"...

I don't know if they've been flagged before but Ive recently bought a Stihl smart connector which measures daily and accumulative runtime of battery or petrol machinery,the screenshot is off the monitor app showing my Msa200 with AP300 lasted 15 mins.

Battery saw run time time seems far more affected by what you are doing than petrol equivalents.

 

General trimming back, pruning and dainty conifer dismantling easily gets you a morning on a T540i and a bli200x battery, but clogging down an oak stem with bar fully buried in the wood gets about 20 minutes.

 

When I put my heart into it, I think my record to flatten a fully charged battery is about 7 minutes (firewood logging).  The battery gets nice and hot when you do this, and the charger won’t recharge it till it’s cooled off a touch.

The 15 mins was blocking the lengths in this pile of Ash

Yeah, that looks about par-for-the-course.

 

You would, however, be a bit miffed if you had burnt through a tank of aspen in 15 minutes cutting through that with a 200t.

This is about my experience, I just switch to petrol for the blocking down. Conifer hedge reduction is a lot of cuts, then can flatten the batteries in a couple of hours.
