Very poor performance with the batttery. It lasts about 20 minutes which is totally unacceptable. Unless you have 2 batteries, then you have to stop the job, get the battery jump charged, and then work again-for another 20 minutes. Does this sound like a great working tool? Not in my opnion, and I have informed the manufacturer. I returned the product and purchased an EGO. paid a bit more, but at least 45-50 minutes job performance.

Hi Zoobe, thank you for rating the SKIL battery! We're sorry you're disappointed. We're disappointed too, because what you've described comes nowhere near the level of quality in which our tools are designed to perform. Please know that we stand behind the quality of our products and we’re here to help. We hope that you’ll keep this in mind and give SKIL another chance in the future.

This Chainsaw is great so far.. Just what I needed, Works great and does the job.. No extension cords, and charge lasts just long enough for the small jobs I have to do now and again.
Thank You,
Dan

My wife was all “why do we need this if we already have a blower with a cord?” And now she uses this thing EVERY day from about May to Nov

I think it is a good battery. It is semi long lasting which is not bad for me since I have a small yard.

Not really impressed. Fully charged battery didn’t last more than 15 minutes. Using it on the leaf blower. Good thing I had a backup so I could finish my yard.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
