I have both Stihl and Kobalt (Greenworks) battery chain saws. I don’t own gas saws any more. As someone suggested, a battery reciprocating saw with a good pruning blade is really the best tool for light work. As some one else suggested, you can put a smaller bar on the Greenworks or Kobalt saw. Mine came with an Oregon 18” bar; but could easily be replaced with 14” bar. I would be reluctant to buy a new system. Since your wife has Greenworks - I would go with that for a battery chain saw solution. Or use your reciprocating saw with a good pruning blade. That is what I use for most limbing and light work now. Lithium batteries have really made the difference in all rechargeable tools.

We got my dad a Husqvarna battery operated for Fathers day this year and I am pleasantly surprised how much power and longevity it has.
He is no longer able to start the gassers so this was a real life saver for him to carry in his side by side UTV. He uses it to cut firewood right along side of his sons and it is light enough not to tire him out.

I have the Oregon. Not really used much, just carry it in the UTV in case of fallen trees accross the trails. Bonus is self sharpening feature. It's a heavy, albeit sturdy little saw.
