  1. I’ve the Husqvarna 536Li battery saw with BLi200 batteries. One battery lasts about an hour, which crucially is longer than it takes to charge the second one! It did discharge quicker when used at near zero decrees C temperatures last winter.

    Do think ahead though as I chose that saw over the Stihl due to similar reviews of both saws... now looking for a hedge trimmer and looks like the Stihl comes out on top in every review, so if you want to use batteries in multiple devices check reviews of all tools first!!

  2. Just as a matter of professional interest, did the Council ask for replacement planting?

    No replacement was mentioned, so I asked the owner and he also said no.
    It wasn’t a specific TPO on one tree, it was an old country house with wooded grounds that now has 2 new streets built in the grounds. The whole area is covered by a TPO.
  3. I’m thinking more in the £350 budget as the most I can justify being honest. It will Only get used 8 to 10 times a year at most. That said if I buy one at £550 it should last me virtually forever I would think.


    I was in a similar situation and went for a 450e (50cc) it was reduced to £400, that was 2011. Occasional weekend use, more frequently than you state, and still in great condition and starts first time every time. It did this last weekendIMG_1538468262.053199.jpg
  4. This video convinced me of the merits of a battery saw..


    I went for the 536Li as it was on offer for £400 for saw, battery and charger. The BLi200 battery lasts nearly an hour and will easily do your 15 small cuts and single felling day. Battery life is less in cold temperatures, maybe 10-20% less.

    Hadn’t seen this video..
