Ranking the best battery-powered chainsaws of 2023

It was harder than it looked...

What we look for in a battery-powered chainsaw

1.) Length 2.) Battery life 3.) Power (duh) 4.) Safety features

#1: Greenworks 40V Chainsaw

Perfect length for a residential chainsaw, great versatile battery, and sharp as a tack.

#2: EGO 56V 18" Battery Chainsaw

Longer, part of a BEAST battery line-up, but slightly more expensive.

#3: Stihl MSA 120 C-BQ Battery Chainsaw

I expected more from Stihl, but it's not THAT bad. Plus it's a reasonable price.

#4: Dewalt 60V Battery Chainsaw

Beautiful motor, easy to handle, less popular battery line, pretty expensive.

Battery powered chainsaws are the future.

You might be surprised at how well they work.
