Looks to me the saws are using possibly something like 90PX chain? except the stihl which has its own chain which i am sure is RM(Place holder - back later )

The PRO Husqvarna costs even more (with the really good battery and charger). But gets great reviews.No way in hell i would buy a electric chainsaw costing $700-800 like that stihl.

It is possible to rent some battery powered saws at The Home Depot and local places. Some of the saw shops will have dealer demo days with factory reps and products to try. Always buy with a credit card so that you can return if necessary! I have brought mine to some A.S. GTGs and events for folks to try, but I don't have all of the latest models, like the Project Farm guy does!I have not used it yet, nor at that price is it likely to be a purchase I make in the near future.
Considering a Stihl ms 170 out the door is 179 plus tax i would have to pass.Rough (list) prices:
Husqvarna 540i XP - $600
BLi300 battery (9.4 Ah, 36V) - $300
QC500 Charger -$160
------------------------------------
Total $1,060 with one battery (should have at least 2) for the good battery and charger.

I suspect professionals will embrace these in tree removal situations in noise sensitive environments
That's why they also offer 'homeowner' versions!Considering a Stihl ms 170 out the door is 179 plus tax i would have to pass.
Have you purchased any other, compatible tools, or just the saw?my 80v Kobalt has been great for me,
