EGO POWER+ Chain Saw, 16” Battery Powered Chainsaw, Electric Cordless, Includes 56V

This 16-inch cordless chainsaw provides the cutting output of a 40CC gas motor while running entirely on electric battery power. It is designed for homeowners and property owners who need to clear limbs, buck logs, or cut timber without the upkeep, pull cords, and fumes associated with small gas engines.

The saw is driven by an included 56V 2.5Ah ARC Lithium battery, delivering up to 130 cuts on 4x4 wood on a single charge. A chain speed of 20 meters per second keeps cutting brisk, while the low-kickback 16-inch bar and chain setup (3/8-inch pitch, .043-inch gauge, 52 drive links) handles standard outdoor tasks smoothly. A built-in brake indicator adds an extra layer of control while you work.

Maintenance and setup are kept straightforward. The tool-free chain tensioning system allows you to make quick bar and chain adjustments by hand, eliminating the need for screnches. Lubrication is managed automatically via an integrated oiler, which pairs with a spill-free oil reservoir to keep fluids contained during refills.

Because it runs on a 2.5Ah pack, cutting capacity is tied to battery life, delivering around 130 cuts on smaller lumber before needing a recharge. Additionally, the listing does not mention whether a standalone charger is included or how long the battery takes to recharge from empty.

Verdict: This 16-inch battery chainsaw is an ideal option for anyone needing reliable 40CC gas-equivalent cutting performance for routine yard maintenance. It delivers solid cutting speed, tool-free upkeep, and cordless convenience in one package.
