Hah - well the other “complaint” I have about battery saws is I frequently forget to check the bar oil. With a gas saw you check it every time you add gas.
To answer your question about what I like about the 540i over the MSA220 - the Stihl has that crappy chain adjuster which really sucks. The Husky has standard bar nuts. The Husky also has a Battery Extender mode which helps and the batteries are a little cheaper. OTOH the Stihl batteries have more capacity.
That’s a feature I really like on the MSA 300, the low oil light. Battery saws disrupt the add bar oil when refueling typical process.Hah - well the other “complaint” I have about battery saws is I frequently forget to check the bar oil. With a gas saw you check it every time you add gas.
Wait til I put a tesla motor in my jeep and sneak up on everybody, lolOfficial statement of this site:
Yeah,tell me about it...Petrol or battery, they all cut flesh the same. Never underestimate just because they are quiet. It's the home owners biggest mistake (and some pros too)
Places like ‘Batteries Plus’ won’t touch Li-ion battery packs. ‘A guy on eBay ‘ raises other questions/ concerns.A guy on eBay will replace the cells in your batteries, the reviews are good.

They are reasonable on DeWalt 20v packs. My 6.0s were pretty expensive new. Supposedly the cells are better quality than the original but I haven’t had one done yet.I contacted them about rebuilding my Oregon 40V battery packs (all good now) and my Redback 120V battery packs (couple of ‘dead’ ones and new NLA), just to see if they would do them. Here is their (edited) response:
‘Thanks for contacting us. We would be able to replace the cells in your Oregon batteries. Please see below for pricing. Unfortunately, we do not work on Redback battery packs.
40V / 2.4Ah @ $60
40V / 4.0Ah @ $120
40V / 6.0Ah @ $180’
So, it could be an option for some situations, but not for my Redback one.
