Field Test Dewalt DCMCS575N-XE 54v Flexvolt Electric Battery Chainsaw on OLD DRY! 20" Stringy Bark

Field testing and comparing runtimes on two identical Dewalt DCMCS575N-XE 20" Bar Flexvolt electric Chainsaws.
We varied cutting pressures and battery capacities on some seriously tough old wood.
this Stringy Bark log has been on the ground for 2+years drying out and was left there by the previous owner of the property.

Good ass testing. Cutting downed wood that is wide and hard. Proved battery life on 9 amps for 2:30 min. Seem like 15 Amps is the way to go.

You need the 15 amps batteries. That’s the only way to go

Bigger chain saw needs stronger battery thats what i found with mine it eats batteries in no time

Dewalt confuse everyone flexi volt 54v on 18v it is 9amps on 54v its only 3amps

I can de-mystify it a little bit if that helps? The flexvolt batteries has three 18-ish volt batteries inside. When using it on an 18v tool, it gives that output. When plugged into a 54v tool, two little prongs push on a switch that puts the three 18v batteries into series, meaning they add their voltage to each other - allowing the battery to deliver 54ish volts. The ins and outs of this are a little more complicated, just not in a way that is helpful to know about 😆.
