I have 3 batteries that are all the same one for each cordless tool I. Have ir so they all work interchangeably.  Clear shooting lanes with pole saw , quiet and quick, and clear trails with chainsaw, as well as dropped many trees over the winter. Love the fact its quiet, no gas stench to leave or get on me.   The snow blower clears walk way and elevated deck as well as cleans off pond for ice skating and hockey.  

Sun joe/ snow Joe have a 20volt system (decent bunch of guys bought the 20volt pole saws after using my 40volt) 

A 40 volt system that is pretty impressive that I have , and now they came out with a 100 volt.. I really would like to try the chainsaw as it's a 20 in bar as some of the trees I was dropping  i had to cut from both sides as the bar wasnt long enough.

I have pole saw attachment for my troybilt gas trimmer that I really like for around the house, but I can imagine in the woods that battery powered version would be a lot less weight and pretty sweet. generally the ole manual pole saw is what we need to get those branches way up anyhow.

i have a cordless craftsman hedge trimmer and leaf blower. the trimmer is great and the leaf blower is solid for paved surfaces and quick little jobs like blowing off the deck or garage. i'm not so sure I'd go battery for chainsaw or anything where real power is needed.

Yea I  know what you mean. 

I'm not a professional grardner so when I us a chainsaw its  only  to cut a few things around the house  and even then my neighbor makes a big deal about noise . If I can get  cordless chainsaw  that can do that much with a charge that doesn't way a ton I would be happy . Need more use   time  I just buy a second battery .

Some times with the gas one i kill  my arm just trying to start the thing when its  cold . Gas tools definitely the way to go if you  need to do a lot with out stopping.

It's so quiet, I use it to trim all my shooting lanes and prep tree to put up ladder,or hanging. I've cut 5 in oak limbs with it no problem and its last a long time. The chainsaw I've cut large oak trees out of roadways up to 20 in in diameter making 20 or so cuts thru the log itself in to 16 in fire wood. The only thing I've dont to chainsaw is switch to Oregon quick sharp chain and sharpener. Saves lot of time sharpening chain when clearing trails as it always hits a rock or dirt cutting logs laying across. Simply snap on chain sharping block and push and run saw and remove back in buisness in 30 seconds.. for what I cut I will not use any of my gas husqvarna saws( I have 3 nice ones) again. Easy and quiet are it with this battery saw,  if I was cutting fire wood in any quantity I'd use gas but I gave that up when I built new house in 07..

started browsing this morning. my current gas powered pole saw is 7', loud and heavy. Looks like 9' is about as long as you can get for battery powered. that extra 2' would be nice and so would the convenience. Just not sure if it's a couple hundred dollars nice...
