Best Battery-Powered Chainsaws for Pros and Homeowners in 2025

Not that long ago, there weren’t that many cordless chainsaws, and even fewer had high enough performance to make us want to replace our gas saws. Fast forward to 2025, and the best battery-powered chainsaws meet and exceed gas performance all the way up to 20-inch models. There are even some Pro categories where battery is preferred over gas.

We’ve been reviewing the latest models, and we’re ready to share which ones stand out from the rest this year.

Best Battery-Powered Chainsaw Overall

Highlighted Features

• Electronic Chain Brake: Added layer of safety against kickback that works alongside the mechanical brake
• Low Oil Sensor: Lets you know when the chain oil reservoir needs a refill
• Three Operating Modes: Quickly balance power and runtime based on the cut
• Vortex Air Duct Technology: Advanced air cooling design
• Felling Sights: Hi-vis molded lines along the housing to sight your cuts

For years, we’ve seen incremental gains in battery-powered chainsaw power and capability: 16-inch, 18-inch, and finally 20-inch. With the launch of their H.O.G. saw (High Output Gasless), Greenworks Commercial said “hold my beer” and busted out a 28-inch model with the equivalent power of an 80cc gas saw. Unsurprisingly, as the most powerful available, it’s my pick as the best battery-powered chainsaw.

In terms of design, it’s 100% Pro-focused with the robust, durable build you demand. However, it comes at a steep cost compared to other brands. However, Greenworks Commercial has several capable rear-handle and top-handle models, giving you a full suite of gas-free options to fit your needs.

Best Battery-Powered Top Handle Chainsaw

Highlighted Features

• Centrifugal Clutch: Saves time when restarting after overload stalls
• Low Oil Sensor: Lets you know when the chain oil reservoir needs a refill
• Two Operating Modes: Quickly choose between power and runtime based on the cut
• Optional Heated Handles: Available on the T542i XP G model

The Husqvarna 542i XP is the best cordless top-handle chainsaw currently available. It’s not quite as powerful as the Greenworks Commercial 82V nor as compact as the Echo 56V top handle. However, I think the Husqvarna’s balance of 40cc power, diminutive weight, and introduction of a clutch make it an excellent choice for arborists.

The clutch is a first for battery-powered saws. On a gas saw, the clutch prevents the engine from shutting down when you release the trigger or bind the chain. With battery power, it’s about not having to completely remove the saw from the cut when you stall the motor. Simply lift slightly, pull the trigger, and reengage the cut. It’s a timesaver that really adds up over the course of a day.

I also love that Husqvarna gives you the option to use a backpack battery and shift some of the weight off the saw. It’s not terribly practical when climbing, but can be handy for ground-level and bucket work.

For those of you running multiple crews, you can connect it to your Husqvarna Fleet Services software to track the last known tool location and help with inventory management.

As you’d expect from a Pro-focused model pushing high performance with a high-tech design, it’s not cheap. If it fits your budget, though, it’s tough to find a more complete package.

Best Battery-Powered Pole Saw

Highlighted Features

• Slim Inline Design: Fits inside a 6-inch conduit carrier
• Sight Line Optimized: Easily see the cut when precision matters
• Ergonomic Adjustment Collar: Adjust the length with less strain on your hands

When it comes to the best battery pole saw, multi-head systems are an excellent platform. However, many professional crews prefer dedicated tools to attachment systems. If that sounds like you, check out Milwaukee’s M18 Fuel Telescoping Pole Saw. It’s a 9- to 13-foot telescoping system (full length, not just reach) that reaches significantly higher than most of its competition.

The performance of this pole saw is impressive. Using a single 18V battery, its 10-inch bar delivers 2.3 HP, torque levels of 1.9 Nm, and speeds up to 25 m/s. It’s powerful and fast, and after making a few cuts, you’ll wonder why you didn’t switch to battery power sooner. Since this one’s a relatively recent launch, we’ll forgive you for holding out until now.

The downside of this one is the weight. At 19.4 pounds with a 12.0Ah High Output battery, you’ll feel it at full extension. However, Milwaukee includes a shoulder strap that helps manage it well.

Looking for a battery-powered pole saw for home use? Take a closer look at the EGO 56V telescoping pole saw with a total reach of up to 16 feet! It features a carbon fiber shaft as well as an LED cutline indicator.

Best Cordless Chainsaw for Home Use

Highlighted Features

• Three Operating Modes: Quickly balance power and runtime based on the cut
• Omnidirectional Auto Chain Brake: Automatically stops the chain with the high inertia forces of kickback
• LED Light: Make cuts after dark without needing additional lighting
• Safety Brake Indicator: Easily and quickly see if the brake is engaged

If you’re looking for high performance without paying Pro-level prices, EGO’s 20-inch chainsaw is the best for homeowners. With the move to a 20-inch bar, EGO also made a significant jump in power. The 18-inch model sported 45cc equivalent power while this model steps up to 55cc—a 22% increase!

It’s something that stood out in our testing, where we noticed much more confident cutting, especially in thicker oak.

Along with the step up in performance, this model also includes a more Pro-like build with dual bar nuts and aggressive bucking spikes. What’s not as common even on Pro saws is EGO’s three speed settings. While you typically want to cut at the highest power level, have two modes to step down to can help extend your runtime when you’re cutting smaller branches or working with softwood species.

As one of the largest residential-focused saws, it is a bit heavier, but pretty easy to manage if you’re already used to gas saws in the farm and ranch class.

Best Mini Chainsaw for Pruning

Highlighted Features

• Metal Bucking Spikes: Dig in to support your cut like you do with a full-size chainsaw
• Variable Speed Trigger: Feather the trigger for more control over your cuts
• Automatic Oiler: No need for manual oiling between cuts
• Climbing-Friendly Scabbard: Locks onto the saw and has its own tether point

Small pruning chainsaws (AKA mini chainsaws) have become massively popular since Stihl gave the American market its first real taste several years ago. Now, most major brands have at least one, but the best is Milwaukee’s M18 Fuel Hatchet.

As a Pro-focused model, it sports an 8-inch bar and cuts with more confidence than most of its competitors. When it comes to finding its place, it’s an outstanding limbing saw, saving you weight over your top-handle saw and offering true one-hand cutting potential.

Milwaukee also doesn’t play any games with the design. Automatic oiling, metal bucking spikes, and a single bar stud ensure you can focus on cutting rather than fooling with manual oiling or a wobbly chain.

As part of a full suite of chainsaws that includes the Hatchet, a solid top-handle saw, a 20-inch chainsaw, and a telescoping pole saw, the M18 battery system has Pros covered.

Best Cordless Chainsaw for the Money

Highlighted Features

• Tool-free Chain Tensioner: Adjust the chain tension without having to grab your scrench
• Metal Bucking Spikes: Dig in better than with the plastic spikes many residential chainsaws have
• Safety Brake Indicator: Easily and quickly see if the brake is engaged

EGO already had a solid 16-inch chainsaw on the market, but they released a new one in 2022 that made two big strides. First, it upped the performance to compete with (and even beat) gas saws in the 40cc class. Second, they added some much-needed features like a flip-top oil lid and metal bucking spikes.

Having used both saws, I like the performance bump and the feature tweaks that bring this saw in line for folks on the hunt value and easy use. With a kit price well under the 20-inch model, it’s an excellent choice for homeowners who want to manage their own tree care and storm cleanup. If getting the most bang for your buck is your highest priority, this is your chainsaw.

More Battery-Powered Chainsaws to Consider

Best DeWalt Battery-Powered Chainsaw

DeWalt has an extensive line of chainsaws on both its 20V Max and 60V Max platforms. While the muscular DCCS667 60V Max 20-inch model is the highest-performing, it’s the compact 20V Max pruning saw that’s arguably its most successful.

Part of its broad appeal is the size. With an 8-inch bar and chain, it’s an effective limbing tool for Pros while offering homeowners a lightweight, compact, and non-intimidating way to trim trees. The lower price tag certainly doesn’t hurt, either.

It’s not just my opinion, though. Customer reviews consistently rate this model higher than DeWalt’s other chainsaws,

Best Echo Battery-Powered Chainsaw

Echo has several chainsaw offerings on its 56V platform, and while I do like their 18-inch model, it’s the Pro-focused X-Series top handle that steals the show. Like the 25cc gas-powered CS-2511T, the battery-powered DCS-2500T looks deceptively small. However, Echo’s brushless motor offers the performance you expect from a professional top handle chainsaw.

While you could get a more powerful model, the appeal here is that it’s lightweight — I mean it’s extremely lightweight at just 7.3 pounds with the battery installed! It’s definitely not your least expensive top-handle option, but Echo clearly designed it with the demands of professional arborists in mind.

Best Greenworks Battery-Powered Chainsaw

Among Greenworks’ residential-focused systems, the 60V line is my favorite. With several chainsaws to choose from on that platform, it’s the 20-inch model that tops the charts. Sporting a powerful brushless motor, it produces power similar to a 60cc gas model. That’s legit farm and ranch chainsaw territory, so it’s great for those of you who maintain trees on larger properties.

There aren’t a lot of bells and whistles to brag about, but the design has a very gas-like feel with its robust metal bucking spikes, automatic oiling system, and dual bar studs.

This saw is also available on the 80V platform if you’re on that system.

Best Makita Battery-Powered Chainsaw

I’ve tested and used Makita’s 18V and 36V chainsaws for years, and the newer 40V max XGT line definitely has the best options for Team Teal. The GCU04 steps up with 42cc gas equivalent power and an 18-inch bar.

A quick comparison reveals that Makita isn’t currently challenging the 60cc+ numbers other manufacturers are achieving. However, this is a well-built, smooth-operating saw with an outstanding electronics package driving the chain.

That said, I’d be surprised if we don’t see a more powerful 20-inch model by the end of the year.

If you prefer tool-free chainsaw tensioning, you can get the same performance with that feature in the GCU06 or step down to a 16-inch bar with the GCU06.

Best Milwaukee Cordless Chainsaw

When Milwaukee embraced expanding the M18 system’s performance potential with dual-battery options, we were hoping to get a chainsaw upgrade. Milwaukee delivered with one of the strongest battery-powered chainsaws on the market with 70cc gas equivalent power.

In fact, if it weren’t for Greenworks Commercial’s H.O.G. saw, Milwaukee’s 2827 would be the strongest battery option on the market. Even if the highest performance is your aim, Milwaukee is nearly $400 less.

When it comes to the design, this model is 100% Pro-focused and feels very similar to using a gas saw. Bonus features like two speed modes, dual bucking spikes, and cutting sight lines on the housing make using it easier and more convenient than many of its competitors.

Best Ridgid Cordless Chainsaw

Ridgid has just one chainsaw on its OPE lineup at the moment. With a 12-inch bar and legitimately lightweight design, it’s a very approachable saw for homeowners who want to keep their property in check or contractors who need to keep a chainsaw on hand to clear occasional obstructive growth.

Like many Ridgid power tools, the chainsaw is eligible for the Lifetime Service Agreement.

Best Ryobi Battery-Powered Chainsaw

Ryobi’s second-generation 20-inch HP Brushless chainsaw doesn’t completely reinvent the wheel from the previous model. However, it does have a bit more power, and a metal front handle helps improve the overall durability.

It keeps the metal bucking spikes, dual bar studs, and overall gas-like design intact. If you’re coming over from a gas saw, there’s not much of a learning curve to worry about.

There’s a surprise in the pricing, though. In addition to some upgrades, both the bare tool and kit are priced lower than the previous model was selling for.

Best Stihl Battery-Powered Chainsaw

Pros can finally buy reliable, powerful 20-inch cordless chainsaws. Aside from hitting the 20-inch mark, Sithl’s MSA 300 C-O has enough power to replace most farm and ranch gas saws. The fact that you also gain access to the vast Stihl servicing dealer network makes this an even wiser choice for Pros.

The MSA 300 C-O has 3 different performance settings. This gives you options when you want to prioritize runtime over power. And believe me — runtime is the only downside to running this battery-powered chainsaw over a gas model. It has all the power and cutting speed you need.

I like the LED screen that clearly displays the power status, mode, and chain brake position. It even gives you a low oil alert. For anyone managing inventory, this Stihl chainsaw supports the company’s Connector 2 A Bluetooth module.

Stihl also introduced the AP 500 S battery when they first debuted this saw. That was fortunate as that particular battery helps the MSA 300 C-O shine when using a larger 20-inch bar and chain. I highly recommend using this advanced power source if you want the best possible performance this saw has to offer.

Best Skil Battery-Powered Chainsaw

Skil has steadily built out a very well-rounded chainsaw lineup that covers everything from a pruning saw (and a new telescoping pruning saw) to the PWRCore 40 18-inch chainsaw that offers the best performance.

With 40cc gas equivalent performance, it has decent cutting speed and power to go along with a reasonable weight and solid build. For homeowners looking to maintain their properties or have a solid battery-powered chainsaw for storm cleanup, this is a high-value option that does the job well.

What to Look for When You’re Buying a Battery-Powered Chainsaw

Performance is King

Thanks to advanced brushless motors, electronics, and batteries, voltage no longer tells the entire story. However, cutting speed with the torque to get through thick hardwood species is the number one priority for us.

Runtime is (Sort of) a Big Deal

Ideally, a battery-powered chainsaw balances cutting speed and power with runtime. Larger batteries are certainly helping. Advancements in battery technology are as well. Denser cells with more robust connections can more efficiently transfer energy from the battery to the chain. This gives you higher performance without a drop in runtime that makes the saw irrelevant.

The other side of the conversation involves rapid chargers. Most brands offer them now and several include them as a standard part of the kit. With today’s cordless technology, two batteries and a rapid charger can keep you running continuously all day.

Triggers, Safeties, and Lockouts

Most chainsaws are similar in form and share the same basic operational features. Where the best cordless chainsaws differ in form is primarily in their switches and triggers.

All of the saws have a UL or similar test lab certification on them, but they’re not all the same. In use, some of the saws in our test have more defined two-step triggers. Others easily activate using a single grasp around their lockout button and trigger. At the end of the day, we expect our chainsaws to keep us from accidentally activating the motor. My recommended saws above all meet that requirement. From there, it’s just a matter of the feel or function you prefer.

The true two-step lockouts aren’t difficult to operate in normal conditions. In odd positions, such as reaching around a tree while limbing, sometimes the mechanical lockouts can be tricky to slide.

For select cordless chainsaws, the first of two (or sometimes three) stages of starting is an electronic power button.

Some electronic switch saws can be run with a single grab once powered on. You just have to be mindful of the auto timeout feature. It can be frustrating the pull the trigger to no effect when you thought the saw was ready.

Ease of Adjustment

Chainsaw bars need to be adjusted nearly every time you use the saw. A new chain stretches out pretty quickly. You need to snug it up at least a few times as it breaks in.

If your chain gets tight rather suddenly, it usually means the bar is not getting oil. Don’t loosen it until you make sure the saw is oiling properly.

Pro Tip: Get into the habit of loosening your chain at the end of the day. Cold weather can cause it to tighten as it cools and damage parts.

A saw’s bar will be designed for either tool-free adjustment or will require a screwdriver-wrench combination tool called—yep, you guessed it—a scrench. Tool-free adjustment is the quickest and easiest with plastic knobs and/or dials built into the saw. They loosen the bar, move the bar forward or back to properly tension the chain, and lock the bar down tight again.

To keep your adjustment tool close at hand, look for models that have storage slots built into the saws.

Dual Studs vs Tool-free Adjusters

Saws with tool-free adjusters use a single stud to attach the bar to the saw, but manual adjusting models typically have two mounting studs (sometimes one on small or top-handle models). Some old-school users view dual studs as an indication that the saw is geared toward professionals, but we don’t think that’s a hard, fast rule. Not for modest-sized saws anyway. However, the biggest and strongest chainsaws all have dual stud bar mounts.

Pro Tip: Be sure to snug the nuts evenly because torquing down on only one can loosen the other.

Author’s Note on Captured Nuts

Lost bar nuts are a frequent occurrence during regular use in the field. To prevent this, some saws have the added feature of captive nuts that won’t come all the way off the cover no matter how much you spin them. If you don’t have this feature, keep a couple of spare nuts on hand — it’s not unusual to lose one in the field!

Your preferences may vary, but we can appreciate both adjustment methods. We like the speed and convenience of tool-free adjustments for small saws. For big saws, we feel more confident securing the business end of these powerful tools down with a wrench.

It’s not a deal-breaker either way for the saws in our test unless the mechanism itself is flawed. The best battery-powered chainsaw for you is the one that instills a sense of both confidence and convenience.

Bars and Chains

Most chainsaw brands don’t try to reinvent the wheel by making their own bars and chains. Instead, many use quality Oregon components, though Stihl makes their own bars and chains. Most cordless chainsaws use 3/8-in. pitch, 0.043-in. gauge chains while stronger models are moving up to 0.050-in. gauge.

Oiling Systems

Bar and chain oil is the lifeblood of a chainsaw as the saw cannot run without it for very long. Most saws oil readily, but we occasionally run across models that have issues after a while. If a saw oiled well out of the box, it usually just needs a good cleaning to unclog it.

Oil Visibility

Most battery-powered chainsaws have translucent windows that let you check if there’s oil in the tank, and most let you estimate the level pretty well. If yours has a small window or none at all, be sure to stop and check the oil level frequently. About every hour of working time or anytime you notice a change in performance is a good rule of thumb.

Oil Caps

The ease of filling the oil reservoir is a noteworthy convenience factor when considering the best battery-powered chainsaw. We don’t like having oily fingers, so being able to fill the tank while leaving our work gloves on is our preference. Look for oil caps with lugs that are easy to turn with gloves on and/or flip-up tabs that provide an even better grip.

Spills & More Spills

Chainsaws often leak oil while sitting because daily heating and cooling shrinks and expands a plastic tank like a rudimentary pump. Some saws are messier than others.

Wherever you store your saw, put a piece of cardboard underneath it to collect any oil. You can switch it out as needed and whenever an Amazon order arrives.

Be careful when filling your chainsaw. Some have a large section of the cap that goes inside the tank and displaces a surprising amount of oil when you fill it anywhere close to the top. Wiping gooey oil off a chainsaw is an annoying waste of time.

Another cause of spills is an oil tank with a filler neck that is too narrow. Bar and chain oil is thick and tacky. It can pour like molasses in the cold, so it easily “piles up” and overflows in a narrow neck.

Pro Tip: Only poke a small hole in the foil of your oil container or use a (clean) syrup bottle to dispense oil into your chainsaw’s reservoir.

Providing another challenge, plastic filters at the inlet of its tank can constrict the diameter.

Caps that cross-thread easily can also make the oil-fill process more of a chore.

Environmental Sidetrack: Try Biodegradable Bar and Chain Oil

The other part of this cleaner, greener, lithium-ion-powered story is you can pair your battery chainsaw with a biodegradable bar and chain oil made of vegetable-based ingredients, such as Stihl Bio Plus. Those barrels of useful wood waste also contain a few gallons of oil from the saws.

Aside from having to landfill all of your petroleum-preserved sawdust, it’s just good practice to minimize your exposure to petroleum oil on your skin, clothing, and the atomized portion that you breathe in.

Bucking Spikes

For pushing a saw through wood more efficiently, chainsaws come fitted with bucking spikes. You may also hear these called bumper spikes, felling spikes, or dogs. These spikes sit against the body of the saw alongside the bar. They anchor the saw in place while you pivot the bar through a cut.

The spikes allow you to apply a lifting motion of the rear hand instead of pushing downward. Holding the saw tight to the wood, the motor can exert its maximum pulling power. This saves you from some of the cutting vibrations common when holding a saw away from your work.

Our battery-powered saws all have some semblance of spikes. Most aren’t as long or as sharp as those on large gas saws. However, actual steel spikes are becoming more common. We prefer those to the simple plastic ridges on other models.

Pro Tip: Applying leverage with spikes adds control, but go easy and listen to the pitch of the motor. You can overload battery chainsaws with too much pressure, and the weaker models stall easily.

Balance

While the comfort and feel of a tool are largely subjective, it’s also true that some designs work better than others. Most Pros and experienced homeowners can immediately tell.

For the best battery-powered chainsaw, a balanced feel in your hands and the ability to cut straight without introducing a twisting motion to overcome are both important ergonomic factors.

Holding a saw with your left hand on the front handle in front of you should have the saw balanced fairly flat. Being a bit front-heavy is okay, but a rear-heavy saw lifts the cutting end of the saw up toward you and requires more effort and vigilance to use and carry safely.

Cutting Sideways

Determining a good feel for felling cuts while holding the chainsaw sideways is more about the comfort of applying force to the front and rear handles as you grasp it from the side, and also the ease of operating the trigger while sideways.

Handles

In general, chainsaws with thicker handles are more comfortable to grasp because they have more surface contact. That tends to soften that contact with your hand. Of course, rubber handle surfaces help too, not only for padding but also for the increased grip they provide.

Trigger Comfort

Most cordless chainsaw triggers are large enough for two fingers to fit on them. Some have an extra-long trigger with more room to vary your grip stance for comfort. The best feeling triggers retract flush with the handle instead of leaving a raised bump your fingers have to push against.

Weight

The dry weight of the best battery chainsaws can swell to well over 15 pounds. Experience shows that a saw’s weight is less important than proper balance overall as you only feel the full weight when you’re NOT cutting.

But carrying around and positioning a heavy saw can certainly be more taxing over a long workday. The catch with these saws is that the batteries are a major part of the weight. Those stronger saws with the high-capacity battery packs and longer bars I prefer end up being the heaviest.

Battery Selection

While I do the majority of my testing with the kitted batteries, it’s worth looking at the full range a manufacturer has available for your cordless chainsaw. If you end up investing in the entire lineup, you’ll likely want to consider the biggest batteries you can buy for it to get all of your lawn chores done efficiently.

You might also want a lower-capacity battery to shave some weight when you don’t have a lot of work to complete.

“Current” State of Affairs

Voltage

Higher voltage means more power, right? There’s certainly an argument for that, but it doesn’t tell the whole story.

Power is measured in watts. That comes from multiplying the nominal voltage times the current. You can make a 36V chainsaw with the same power as a 56V model. The lower voltage simply has to produce more amps (current) to get there.

That’s why you see chainsaws with 40cc gas performance at 18V, 36V, and 60V. It’s all about the combination of volts and amps. All other things being the same, lower current does help a battery run cooler and potentially last longer.

Watt-Hours

Another thing that is interesting to note is the discrepancy between the amp-hour and watt-hour ratings on some of the batteries in our tests for their given voltage. We’ve covered the subject of battery voltage vs amp-hours, storage capacity, and current output many times. To review simply:

Volts x Amp Hours = Watt Hours

It’s the same basic equation we use for power, just applied to energy storage instead of output. It’s an easy way to compare the available energy of one battery to another when they have different voltages.

We’re increasingly finding that manufacturers—perhaps to simplify things for consumers—are rounding amp-hours. Some calculate their watt-hours with maximum voltage while most use nominal. Unfortunately, this makes some comparisons more challenging and adds to potential confusion.

Buy Into a System

One other consideration for these saws is the system of battery-powered OPE to which they belong. Like other cordless tools, you can purchase some of our best battery-powered chainsaws as bare tools at significant savings over the kit.

If you’re already invested in one of these systems, the overall winner may not interest you as much as seeing which model from your brand is the best in the lineup. Though not the best overall, it might be the best balance of performance and value for you.

Look at the Entire Model Lineup

If you haven’t bought into a system yet and may pick up more outdoor power tools in the future, check out the entire lineup from a brand. Make sure they can fulfill your wish list before going after just the chainsaw. For many users, the saw functions as a secondary tool when compared to the hours you spend with a string trimmer or mower.
