Can an Ego 45cm electric chainsaw cut you a load of firewood and replace a petrol chainsaw?

So can an Ego electric chainsaw cut a load of firewood..and not run out of battery power? I took my new Ego 45cm 18" chainsaw out to the bush and tested it out. Here are the results from this Ego chainsaw review.

That Husky should be easy to start! I spoke to the Melbourne chemist that makes these fuel additives. He stated Diesel Power has a different colour than petrol power but is the same and cheaper. I have used this 28 years in all stored fuel (I do slightly overdose) and fuel stays excellent. A fire fighter pump after standing year has no clogged carbi, and starts. Will try this EGO saw for use in town as the smaller Makita 36V has a small bar + chain. I am totally amazed that the Ego made it through such hard timber with 5amp batteries.... placing order today.👍🤓

I have that saw, and it's the best chain saw I have ever owned. I have sold my 3 petrol chain saws. The council cut down some gum trees just outside my home, so I grabbed the EGO and using one 5 amp battery cut up about 1 ton of wood. To make my batteries last longer, I do not push down on the saw, but let the saw weight do the cut for me. I just hold it in place. Battery life is exceptional using that method. If you get one of these saws, you won't be sorry.

I've got their 18in and 3 X 5ah + 1 X 2.5ah batteries.

Good to know.👍 I have the EGO weed trimmer and leaf blower both with 5 amp batteries. Just bought the 18" chain saw. It works great and with 3 batteries, I'll wear out before it does.

Great workout and it’s helping me to decide on the way to go. Thanks for posting.

There are so many good things about this review! A) You are wearing chaps and protective gear! I hate watching reviews where they just wear jeans, no hearing protection, and no safety glasses. It sets a bad precedence for unknowing homeowners new to chainsaws. It's still a chainsaw! B) You are actually cutting hard wood, too many people are cutting pine, and that is no test of a saw's capability. C) You had a Husqvarna as backup.😉

Excellent review Thanks mait

If you can charge them when not in use, three will give you unlimited time

Fur sure electric is going to replace all petrol chainsaws eventually as electric is out performing petrol in alot of fields. Right now its in its infancy with chainsaws but I am definately buying electric instead of petrol. I have been looking at these for the last 6 months and it really is a no brainer for my usage as I am not a professional woodsman or arborist.

Great information. Thanks for sharing.

I think 7.5 batteries does work better For longer cutting Even though you have to deal with the extra weight

I use a batt Stihl with 3 batteries. I get about one cord ( 4 ft wide 4 ft tall 8 ft long pile) out of them and have thought about using solar to charge one while cutting with the others. I am sure in your bit of the world that would work even better.

I'm really curious to see what one of these would do with the 10ah battery. I've used the 10ah battery I got with my mower on my 650cfm blower and you can tell it's get a decent amount of extra blowing force compared to a 5ah and it takes a lot longer for power to even start fading away as the battery drains.

Model number on that EGO?

YOU KNOW YOU SHOULD BE WEARING A DUST MASK FOR YOUR LINGS SAKE.
