I own one for three-year now and now the battery will get thru 6 cut and the batteries are out of power. Anyone else having this issue?

Idk if you got a new one, but you can hear the rpm’s are down. Might be a bad motor. Did you replace it yet?

Which one did you get? The 16 inch or the 18 inch? The 16 inch runs 40v and probably has issues with anything bigger than a hedge. I have the 18 inch that runs 80v and i chopped up a 30-40ft tree that came down during a storm with 2 fully charged batteries.

I have a Husqvarna battery climbing saw that does this, but it's from being dropped out of a tree at maybe 40ft. The shaft that goes through the brake assembly is bent and this causes excessive load on the motor, so it shuts down and blinks the overheat protection light.

Take it back to HF and they will replace it! Sounds like it may have a thermal switch that’s tripping.

I love mine. I use the xtreme batteries. Plenty of power and cuts a long time. I think you probably have. Bad battery. If it’s not the battery it’s an issue with the chainsaw.

Try putting the original bar and chain back on and see if it cuts any better.Thanks for the video.

It is exactly the same with bar it came with. I am using this one because it’s 16 inches instead of 18 and I thought it might help but it did not.

Yeah... most people have a good experience with that saw. I believe your just one of those kind of guys who will down a product when your the problem. Don't leave your battery powered ANYTHING laying on the ground, it will ruin the battery. And if your just trolling to try to get people in the comments for engagement find a better way.....be better broham. Be better.

Batt on lawnmower obviously goes out quicker under stress but I can do my back yard , front yard and both of my neighbors front yards with 2 bars left on batt after I'm done .

could it be that the bar and chain are not good for the chainsaw.. maybe a thinner bar like the original is needed.

No definitely not the case. I had the same effect with the original bar and chain. I reduced the bar size down to 16 inches in hopes that it was going to help with no change at all.
