I bought a DeWalt chainsaw. It cut like a demon. Battery lasted about an hour + of cutting 12" rounds. With 2 batteries, you could cut without stopping.
Cool. Is it noticeable less loud, or does it not work like that with a chainsaw?

Sure but those are just an outgrowth of the golf cart industry which has had battery (lead acid) powered carts for years.
@BLW2 , is there way way I could get in touch with whoever owns that meangreenmachine? I'd like to learn more from an actual owner.I've got an Ego blower that I like a lot, I've had about a year I suppose
and I have a Kobalt 40Volt set I bought several years ago that included a string trimmer and hedge trimmer. Works well too. Battery will get me through my yard string trimming most of the time.
i'll probably go electric for my next mower if this one ever dies..... not at all to 'save the environment'. I just like the problem free starting, the lower sound levels, no gas, no stink, etc....
The that cuts for our HOA is all EV. has a stand behind commercial mower, I think it's Meangreen like this
SK-48 Stalker Stand On - MEAN GREEN MOWERS
My house is next to a common area so he mows basically next door.
It's loud enough to hear inside my house but not nearly as much as an old standard engine. Sounds a bit like a DJI 'drone' but somehow a little more peaceful.
his blower and string trimmers use a backpack battery.
If you don't know, Home Depot is stopping carrying EGO and the brand is moving to Lowe's.
I got a $225 folding ladder for $50 on clearance. Last one. Pays to wait but not too long.Another FYI, yesterday I found a store that had the 650 CFM blower + battery and charger in stock. The price wasn't marked down, but the price was marked down on the 580 CFM units. I took the 650 CFM blower to service and had them do a price check. It came back as on clearance, but no price reduction. Huh? How can it be on clearance but the not reduced? The associate said that they mark it as "clearance" so that the customer knows the item is going out of stock. He said the price may drop next week if it is still in the store. It will maybe drop $25, and if it doesn't sell the price will drop again the next week. So it is a waiting game on some items.
The store where I bought my mower still had 4 in stock yesterday. If I was willing to gamble and lived close I could have waited and gambled that the price might drop further in the next few weeks. But I figure the $100 savings was worth it and I'm glad I picked one up when I did.
If anybody is looking at electric gators I can definitely recommend the Intimidator classic EV. I ended up getting this after looking at all the electric models and this one has been really good so far.Came across this electric gator: offers a 48v option in addition the gas models. Classic Series | Intimidator Inc.
The electric motor is only offered on their cheapest model, and the whole thing seems oriented to hunters/Rambo-wanna-bes, and as they say in the video "hard-working Americans" "to get the job done". The video is like an SNL skit.
Zero uses Li pouch batteries from Farasis.Polaris announces a new electric UTV developed with Zero motorcycles. So probably Lithium batteries. Not available until December
