Anyone else out there Gone 40V Battery powered?

Long as they updated the battery, local shop has a fair amount of the husky waiting to see if husky is going to replace the batteries that died just out of warranty.

 

And the high torque to cut through chaps easier

 

I have a Greenworks 40V saw. It's quite capable concerning run time. I can throw it in the back of the Gator when I need to trim things up during mowing season. Otherwise it is generally used for marking and limbing. After that, it's 60CC+ pro saws to do the heavy work.

 

I bought a husky 540 top handle. It wasn't cheap, but I got two batteries with it. I can cut THIS on a little over one battery.

Don't get me wrong, it's got it's limitations, but it's quiet and it's peaceful early in the morning.
It'll whack up 12 inchers all day
Thinking about buying a regular one, too.

 

I got a 14" 40V Ryobi for the wife and because it was basically free with the battery. It works pretty good although when she was cutting some 12" oak rounds after a few it tripped the breaker and wouldnt run for a few minutes. The smaller stuff it ran through no problem.

 

can a battery saw have more grunt than a plug in saw? I got a craftsman plug in saw I use for splitting up firepit wood. My echo cs310 easily has a quicker cut. I would think plug in would be the strongest. Maybe not.

 

I'm deep in 40v Greenworks batteries. I have their original 16" saw, 2 of the newer 14" saws, and their 10" top handle saw. I also have the M18 Milwaukee.

The original 16" is a turd. The only redeeming quality is that the bar mount and adjustment is tool free. It was cool when it was new and I've cut a few trees with it, but the chain speed is slow and it feels underpowered.

The cs-140 Greenworks has good chain speed and is very usable for its size.

The 40v top handle is cute and useful but it isn't fast enough for a single top cut limb drop.

The Milwaukee is definitely better than any of the 40v Greenworks but needs an 8ah or larger battery to behave well.

When I'm bucking firewood, my 2 372xp's come out. My small gas saw use has essentially been eliminated by battery tools.
