I have. They do work. But they don’t cut like their gas powered brethren.
After a Hurricane, I aint dragging around a generator or an inverter to charge batteries so I can run a saw... I’ll take a gas can.
Yeah, for isolated areas gas is the winner.
For residential, I am thinking 5 acres or less, least around here that's still considered residential. And if power is out you would use the genny, so keeping a few batteries charged doesn't really require much extra work. If you still have power then it's moot.
But ya out in the backwoods gas is king but only because it wins in convenience, not because in the <=18in category gas outperforms the modern electric saw, because they really dont.
