Do cordless electric chainsaws provide enough power for cutting down smaller to medium sized trees and clearing out fallen pines? What do you see as their limitations?

Thanks

Batteries dying if the job is too large for your stored energy capacity. This can be solved with having multiple sets of batteries, but it's not like you can just fill the tank like a gas powered saw.

As far as power, keep the chain sharp and a battery powered version cuts great for smaller to medium trees.

Batteries these days charge pretty darn quick too.

I have both gas and electric chainsaws. Electric can handle brush ok. But I wouldn’t take on a real job without my gas. Rpm’s are very different so speed to finish is dramatic.

I have the Greenworks 40 volt 16” with a 5 amp hour battery. It cuts anything my gas saw would, it works so well I got rid of the gas saw. Cutting firewood, I’m worn out long before the battery is out of juice.
