Electric chainsaws are great on commercial jobsites for getting rid of crates and pallets. I work on metal roofing crews and when its clean-up time there is literally dumpsters full of old crate would and nonstandard pallets that need to be gotten rid of. That's where electric chainsaws come in handy. I still use one of those old Remington corded Limb and Trims, and I picked up one of those Chinese Homelites a few years back at a flea market that serve me well.Corded and battery powered chainsaws are used by a lot of remodelers and timber framers (they still sling oil though!).

I would prefer a saw where I could cross use my batteries. Because batteries used once a year won't get better or last considerly longer. I would prefer to get "my moneys worth" from my equipment. Further you can often get the tools without the batteries much cheaper!
As a single tool I would choose a corded saw. As mentioned above, batteries don't get better with sitting around.

Here in Austria it is the same situation at commercial jobs. My comment about corded was more in tune about the homeowner.I see you are in Austria. In the U.S. anymore on the big commercial jobs in my area, every contractor has nothing but cordless tools anymore. In fact its rare to even find cords, Temporary electrical outlets cost the companies money to install and maintain. Plus have you seen the price of a big commercial grade 100 ft extension cord lately. That just is laying around getting trampled and run over with lifts and tow motors creating an electrocusion hazard or a potential OSHA fine. Plus if you look at a big contractor and you add up the price it would cost them a year to have guys making $60+ per hour to wind and unwind cords and move them around jobs and store and put away it quickly adds up to the 10's of thousands of dollars.
In fact about all you see plugged in the few outlets on jobs anymore are battery chargers.
I would definitely want the tie strap bumper, low kick-back chain for that application.Electric chainsaws are great on commercial jobsites for getting rid of crates and pallets.
