Looking back at my blog, I realise I can’t have got round to doing any chainsawing since February. That is when I posted about buying a 4ah battery and wondered how much better it would do than the 2ah ones I had been using. I’ve done various log splitting and moving but had quite a few sticks which were more suitable for handsawing to get through. Today though, before the rain started, I took the opportunity to get through some of the bigger logs we’ve got recently and also older ones that I can now get to now that the branches are out of the way.

It turns out that a 4ah does the job very well. I think it lasted about twice as long before the rain started and still hadn’t quite got to the point where it was beginning to make hard work of the job. The smaller batteries can be kept for the multitool they came with or if I need to squeeze out just a few more cuts but I’ll stick with the bigger battery for general chainsaw use.
