For anyone other than me that has been anticipating the new Husqvarna battery saws, they are now on the US website. They launched in Europe back in February and should be in dealers here next month. Pricing is $580 (+$10 for back handle) and the battery designed for it is another $210. Charger is $30+ depending on how fast you want to charge. I was getting ready to get the T535i a few months ago when I heard this one was coming out so I decided to wait. It supposedly outperforms the T540 xp gasser and is on par with the 201t while being lighter, quieter and easier to start in a tree. I know many wont switch, but for my use it is about perfect.

I already have the trimmer and pole saw and they are great. I plan to add a blower and hedge trimmer as well. I get about a half days use on a charge and toss it on the charger during lunch and am ready to go when I get back out.
Just need to decide between a 14 or 16" bar. I also want to determine if the 200x batter they launched with it will work on my other tools, and if the new saw will work with the battery I already have - if not that will be really frustrating.
If anyone knows a good Husky dealer in the Seattle area let me know, I was not happy with the one I was using.
