| MSA 60 Stihl is now my go-to chainsaw |
Up at the cabin I used it for construction -- cutting 6x6 posts -- and firewood cutting. I cut down one dead jackpine and then bucked it up into 12-inch lengths -- about a week's supply of firewood in cool weather -- again on half a battery.
The battery itself charges rapidly. When starting with a half charge it finishes topping up in the time it takes to eat lunch. I would recommend not purchasing extra batteries. You just don't need them and when bought alone, they are expensive.
It's a sweet saw and for $350, a bargain.

You're going to enjoy that saw for a long time. Easier to start, lighter, quieter and the battery generally lasts longer than my back does.

I have 60 volt Dewalt chainsaw and works great as well. By the time I get my gas powered saw started my electric has the job done.
I have needed to make one change in my routine when using the electric. In the past I always left my jug of chain oil outside beside my mixed gas can. But now I charge my saw inside and have found myself taking off without topping up the chain oil. Old habits die hard. It finally occurred to me to bring the oil into the basement where I plug in the charger. Doh!
