Disappointed with T536 Li XP

[Roni Macdonald]

Apparently Husqvarna are replacing the saw. I have asked for it to be well tested before despatch. Hope it arrives soon. Will keep posting.

Good to hear they're replacing it, hope you get a good un. Lets us know what you think of it when it's sorted.

What power setting were you using it on? The full power does munch the batteries a bit, but on economy you should get longer.

 

True. The question is: how much longer?

 

Really interested in this saw but before buying one I'd like to be sure about it.

 

Specifications says 35 mins.

 

Is there anyone here who's been running the saw for a while and can tell how much batteries really last?

[Treespotter]

Yes. I have. And this will probably be the very last post I will make here.

 

NO ONE USES HIS CHAINSAW FULL THROTTLE FOR 35 MINUTES.

 

It's making me a bit sick that that Husqy now all over sudden has to comply to so many stupid thought up criteria.

 

Tomorrow you all should try and rev your chainsaw full throttle for the full 35 minutes when you are up in the tree. NO BACKING DOWN WHILE CLIMBING FROM ONE POINT TO THE OTHER!

Sounds stupid? If so, I think you get my point.

 

Two batteries will last you a full 70 minutes of sawpower. Does that look like nothing to you? Stick to a petrol powered saw.

Do you understand there's more in a day's job than full throttle-ing a saw constant for 35 minutes? Than you will also recognise and enjoy all the extras that come with a battery powered T536 LiXP.

I understand you completely . 35 mins actual run time not 35 mins up a tree ! Its not hard is it ??

Thanks. This is just what I wanted to hear.

 

 

Need this saw for pruning/deadwooding jobs.

I know 35 minutes it's a good amount of time.

 

Just wanted to be sure that they were effective, and that the saw was not starting to lose power after 15- 20 minutes.

 

So I asked...

 

Sorry if you've been talking about this saw many times before.

 

Got your point....don't be upset

The power is almost constant until the battey is discharged, that is one of the best aspects of Li chemistry batteries unlike ni-mh for example.

 

Some batteries are better at this than others, it depends on how the battery is designed for its application. In this application consistant power is a strong requirement along with an ability to discharge quickly as the discharge rate is what defines a batteries power potential.

 

Battery chemistry / engineering is extremely complex, i have a good basic understanding but im no expert!

 

...dont confuse these with ur average rechargeables u pick up from tescos lol!

Yea absolutely . These Li battery's don't have a memory . You can charge them from completely MT or half MT or fully charged ( pointless I admit ) but it won't affect their capacity unlike NiCad .

New replacement saw arrived late afternoon; to late to try out. Will put it through some tests tomorrow.

[silky fox]

keep us informed Roni...i really want this saw to be a viable option for the future!
