Petrol Vs. Electric?

Out of interest, what I had thought that would solve the recharging problems would be a 12v kit - to allow the saw to be run from a pair of crocodile clips on the battery of a running vehicle. Would solve my old man's problems of wanting to do bits and bobs of sawing away from a mains power supply, without using a petrol saw.

I'm completely with you - I wouldn't do it personally, but for someone with a strong aversion to 2-stroke engines is there a credible alternative when some sawing is needed away from a mains power supply?
