Battery powered chainsaw

I'll I can image imagine is a backpack. Seems you also need is a first-aid kit, food and water along?

Less than a mile from house and carry phone.
I think backpack in summer would be too hot carrying it while working for 2-3 hours.

Backpack has the advantage of the waist strap, so a sling bag with shoulder and waist strap seems like a good solution, just haven't seen one.

Carpenter tool belts have all kinds of attachments available, including suspenders. Maybe you could find something that meets your needs.

I'd use a pack made for the job. I take it off whenever the work lasts at one point for a while. Today is wasp season here and i'd carry wasp spray, first-aid kit, tools and food n water.

I would need suspenders to carry batteries on my belt.
However, suspenders with attachments for batteries...something to think about.

Bald faced hornets, would need a flamethrower for those during the day.
Good old can of wasp spray has saved me many times though.

The trails you maintain are much longer than mine, so a backpack seems like a necessity.

I am walking the road/trench/trail/driveway - so a few thousand feet. Dragging the cart back and forth if I don't have to is the goal.

There's even an arborist version! The guys hanging the trusses on my shed wore the carpenter version. They could get them on and off pretty easily since it buckles in front. That little front strap in the picture could be a slight hindrance, but you don't have to use it.

Just got this today... Wow. 90% like cutting with gas. I'm really impressed! Downside, it's 5 pounds heavier than my Echo CS400 18" bar. That's pretty insane. But, it cuts like hell.

How many ah battery does it have, sounds like a pretty big one

It's only the 2ah. But the 80v makes it rip!

I have the EGo 18” which is significantly more powerful than the prior 14”/16” version. I have limited gas chainsaw experience but this one with new chain and bar cuts significantly better than whatever similar size gas I last used with unknown age chain and bar.

Don’t yet have need for massive tree clearing. The instant start electric is a blessing for trail clearing. Have yet to come close to running the battery down.

It came with a 56V 5 Ah battery. Is important to use Wh not Ah when comparing different voltages. Voltage times Amp-hours.

56 * 5 = 280 Wh
80 * 2 = 160 Wh
