Mowers, weedwackers, and chainsaws

I've loved our electric lawnmower and weedwacker for several years and highly recommend. 
Last year I was gifted an electric pole saw to help manage our heavily tree-covered property and the ongoing need to steward the branch entanglement. Soon after I had the opportunity to use a full-sized electric chainsaw, a Husquvarna, and loved it. So much cleaner than a gas-powered, but the model was corded and I often need to access more remote spaces. Fortunately, Husquvarna's current electric chainsaw models are all cordless, battery powered. They're pricier than gas-powered models, but I bit-the-bullet and ordered one. It was a long wait-time and I hope the company's commitment to high-volume production, transition from gas-powered, improves. But the battery-powered chainsaw arrived earlier this summer and it's great so far. Easy to operate and maintain, equally powerful - if not moreso given the immediate full torque available with electric motors - and as portable as I need. The battery life has been sufficient for my needs to-date and the cadence of my approach on projects, but I think having 2 batteries would make longer project chunks easier.
