My brother has the Makita one which takes 2x18v batteries.
It doesn't leak bar oil and is good for 4 nights worth of firewood on 2x 5ah batteries.
Is a cordless chainsaw OK for firewood?

Re: Is a cordless chainsaw OK for firewood?
I have the Ryobi One chainsaw and it is great. I also take a couple of spare batteries and charger for long trips which the solar sorts out. I get around 20 - 30 cuts of seasoned wood at around 200mm per 5ah battery. This is dependent on the hardness of the wood.
The torque and speed is nothing like a petrol chainsaw but by the time you have added fuel and oil then started and warmed up the thing I have already cut up most of the wood for the night with my battery one.
