I took mine on a course (as a spare). Instructor laughed, said it's not a real chainsaw.

After 4 disco cuts, he looks at me astonished.

It f***ing works!

Great for small under 10" stuff. No exhaust fumes, quieter than a 2stroke.

I'm waiting for the electric saw and batteries to be able to run a 25-36" bar. [emoji3]

Might have to wait a while

There is one drawback.

when you do multiple trees and you start a tree with little battery power, you know it's not going to last the tree, but you can't just "fill it up" like a petrol saw.

You have to finish the battery and send the saw down.

I'm looking at getting one too, could you buy an inverter to charge in the truck? I'm thinking an ap200 and 300 to get started?

I used to use an inverter to charge a Toughbook. They do work but I found they do beast the battery a bit.

This is what some people do.

 

We usually just ask the customer to use their power supply. No ones said no yet. Of course that hinges on you doing residential work though
