I have purchased a second battery pack for the chainsaw.
When I first got the Stahl, I found that the battery charged so swiftly, that I 'got by' on a job with having regular breaks while a fresh charge was forced back into the cells. Western society was built on the 'tea break'! This is fine if I'm working within the general vicinity of a power point. This week I was 'off site'. The tree I was working on was a brute. I was within walking distance of my house but after the third visit to re-charge, decided that 'now' was the time to spring for an extra juice pack. The electric Stahl makes a lot less noise then a petrol engine (ear protection is optional) and I don't have to fool about with two-stoke fuel mixes. I like that when I release the trigger, it's off. Not chugging away in neutral. I still have to invest in chain lube, and I'm a bit surprised that no one has solved this issue with chainsaws. Teflon coated bars? Two issues I have with the saw are problems associated with
