    Been reading up on the new echo battery top handle and looks good and better then the stihl but reading the technical stuff it says only last 18/20mins on full battery charge which to me isn’t that great.so obviously need extra battery to make it worth while using,take 45mins to fully charge and cost is significant at £886 for saw,1 battery & charger so another battery will take cost up to close £1’000.

    obviously if you have other Echo battery stuff this will help as I think same battery system used in all there cordless range.

    18min runtime is with throttle unreleased entire time. Climbers use it 45-150 minutes of actual time which also involves changing positions in the tree. 2 or 3 batteries are more than enough for working non-stop without overloading anything.

     

    P.S. petrol top handle has a runtime of 20-30 minutes WOT as well, if engine doesn't seize :D
