gave my wife a battery powered Stihl....she hates Cedars but the gas stihls were too heavy for her. I'm not impressed with the battery one. Just like me it doesn't have the power or stamina.I really need (want) a battery powered chainsaw. I think it would be handy as a shirt pocket. I have hundreds of cedars in my fencing. I have 2 gas chainsaws but really too big for cutting trees from a fence.
