I bought a Stihl battery saw last year. Magic wee saw within its limitations.
Oh, and I now have 3 file sizes in my collection.
Recently had a mate clear fell a BIG banksia tree for me. I currently cannot climb trees/ladders. He cut all limbs from an extension ladder using a MSA 220. Large Husquvarnas and Stihls left unused in the wagon until time came to finally lower the tree.
Most impressed, soon after went and bought a battery saw, regretably not a 220 though but horses for courses.
Haven't needed an extra battery. Matched the saw battery series later on to a Stihl battery weedeater. That is magic as well. Rarely get my 30cc commercial jobby out except to belt heavy stuff with the steel disk fitted.
A comment from @Tentman on his experience may help XR500.
