Lithium-ionĪdd to that the trend of tool companies becoming increasingly nebulous with their voltage naming conventions, and voltage numbers mean less now than ever.
Oregon Power Now CS300-A6: 40V Max 4.0 Ah batteryĬan battery power cut it? Read our article: Why use a battery-powered chainsaw Performance is Top Priority Regardless of VoltageĪs readers of Pro Tool Reviews know, battery voltage itself doesn’t determine the power output of cordless tools like it used to. Kobalt KCS180B-06: 80V Max 2.0 Ah battery. Greenworks Pro CS60L210: 60V Max 2.0 Ah battery. Greenworks G-Max Digi Pro 20312: 40V Max 4.0 Ah battery. DeWalt Flexvolt DCCS670X1: 60V Max 3.0 Ah battery. DeWalt DCCS690H1: 40V Max 6.0 Ah battery (we also tested the DCCS690M1 kit with 4.0 amp hour battery). The chainsaw kits that made the cut, (sorry about that), in alphabetical order: The Best Battery-Powered Chainsaw: The Saws So you could really say that what we’re dialing in is the best battery-powered chainsaw under $400 (ish). There are other battery-fueled chainsaws available at higher price points, but we focused on the more affordable range for this shootout. They feature brushless motors and have 16-inch bars (with one 18-incher), and all are available in kits with one battery and a charger ranging in price from ~$210 to a little over $400. The models that ended up in the test are pretty similar. A few saws were bumped out of consideration for lack of this essential safety feature. 
They had to have an active chain brake-not just a plastic guard in front. The saws had one other simple qualifier for this test. So to find the best battery-powered chainsaw, we only included tools 36 volts and higher.
Smaller chainsaws under the 36-volt power class have always failed to impress. But now, with a burgeoning battery-powered outdoor power equipment (OPE) market, we had to narrowly define the test criteria to keep the test to a manageable size and to also make sure the saws were fairly evenly matched. Four years ago when I did the battery powered chainsaw shootout for Pro Tool Reviews, we could only find four competitors in the 36-volt or higher class.
