I used a Stihl electric chainsaw for a few hours yesterday and an hour on a petrol one. I reckon make the battery last 50% longer and 30% lighter and it’s game over for petrol ones. Super exciting, they’re so damn stinky.
I do wish Catl or someone would make a standard 36v battery unit that could be used in many devices - a chainsaw battery for instance would be great on a bike or scooter :)
@gwilymgj - Battery capacity and weight are sort of fixed currently... so would having a smaller / lighter battery and then swapping it out more frequently work?
@tinker more batteries would work, if you discharge them quickly the heat build up means you can’t charge them immediately. I guess a fleet of 5 batteries would work but they’ve > $300 each :-/
@gwilymgj - Oh thats annoying.
