Best Battery Chainsaw for Firewood
The best battery chainsaw for firewood: the EGO Power+ CS1800 56V 18" (~$350).
If you process firewood from rounds and logs in the 10-to-18-inch range and want the convenience of battery power with real cutting performance. The EGO CS1800 is the firewood sweet spot. Its 45cc gas-equivalent motor rips through hardwood rounds at the same speed as a gas saw, the 18-inch bar handles rounds up to 16 inches in a single pass, and roughly 200 cuts per 5.0Ah charge means you can process a full cord before swapping batteries. No gas mixing, no pull cord, no fumes in the woodshed.
