    Love my electric chainsaw except for in winter. Battery life is horrible.

      Do you keep the battery inside or on a shed? Much better for the battery to be kept indoors if that’s an option.

        Yeah stored in a shed. It’s not an option to keep it indoors as there’s no heated indoors.

      I’m perfectly content with my little electric chainsaw. Basically I only ever use it if a tree dies or falls in a storm, it actually starts unlike the gas ones I’ve had…It wouldn’t be up to the task of chopping enough wood to heat my house through the winter but for occasional use it’s better than gas.

      The electric chainsaw is the only one I still don’t like being battery powered. Indeed the battery life is too short for most jobs.

      But the noise is also part of the experience, it just doesn’t feel as Powerfull without it.

        Lawnmower and snowblower have been the only things I haven’t been happy with being electric. Climate change might help me not need the snowblower at all.
