I have the ryobi 36V saw.
magic, the chargers run off of coke can inverters an a single battery usually lasts me for 3 days worth of campfire work. Ive filled just past level a 8x5 with probably 10cms average daimeter 3 foot lengths on one battery.

I've had my little Ryobi One+ 18V unit for about 4 years. Very bloody handy for collecting firewood, particularly dropped branches that are too long and/or far away to drag to the fire. Still haven't needed to sharpen or renew the chain yet.
Also very handy in a campground at 11pm at night, without waking anyone up!
I have a makita, they come with either a straight 36v battery or an option for 2 x 18 volt batteries running as 36v.
I chose the 18v batteries one as I already had other makita gear on 18 volts so didn't need to get another charger or more batteries.
They are a great unit for around the yard and gathering firewood when camping but with only a 10" bar have their limitations especially if you have a tree of any size on a track blocking your way.
A 14" inch bar is starting to get in the realms of a realistic chance of clearing most obstacles so from that aspect a pretty good option (depending on the power).
Still can't beat a 16" petrol for all round work but.....
Yes they are pain to carry especially in a wagon and need regular maintenance.
Depending on price a good quality reliable 14" inch battery job is an attractive proposal, and I might even have a look at them myself
Cheers,
Paul.

I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.

Masters are advertising the Ego 56V Chainsaw on special for $279, save $180. My Dad has the Ego mower and reckons it is better than his old Rover and Victa four stroke mowers, pity as I bought a McCulloch 2 stroke saw a few weeks ago and may have been tempted by the Ego.
All depends what your using it for. For in the fourby away camping, can't beat the fact of not having to carry extra fuel for the saw, worry about it leaking, the smell, and most of all the noise. Was very impressed when we used one on a trip around tassie, could cut wood at anytime without upsetting folk.
I have only seen one electric saw in use, one of the smaller ones........I'm still happy with my petrol.
To cut decent dry hardwood to get decent coals for the camp oven I reckon I would be done and dusted while the electric are still thinking about it.
Sure for a small fire to gaz at an electric would be OK.....
I've never upset camper by cutting wood during the day.
But nearly every tool has a cordless option so I guess it's only going to become more popular.

Got one about a year back.
Actually got it fro my brother, as I don't need it as much.
Lasted an entire 4 day trip on a single 5.0Ah battery. Couldn't say how many hours in total, but about 3 or 4 x 1 hr burst for collecting 4 or 5 foot branches, getting them back to camp and then chopping up half foot blocks. for another few hours at a time.
it's definitely not 2stroke fast, but there's a good job for kids to learn some stuff. For the price and portability, it's an awesome little device.
Most branches in the 8" range.
I also got a 12v charger car charger mainly for it, but also other stuff(like lights and so on.
I already have a few One+ tools, so the choice was natural, even tho we both thought it'd be hopeless at the job!
A few months ago, I bought my dad an AEG brush cutter(54v I think).
I was skeptical it would work as well as or even close enough too his old 49cc monster!
Dad's now 84 and can't pull start the 49cc, but it cut through crap better than his similarly sized Stihl(which went to Stihl heaven).
He reckons it's as good, and better as it's plug and go(ie. no mucking about with stop start).
It only lasts him about an hour per charge, but for him(at 84) he reckons he can't maintain that pace anyhow.
So his routine is cut for an hour or so, charge for a couple.. more for his rest break!
I'm liking battery powered tools more and more, and it seems as tho very soon petrol powered tools will be a thing of the past.
