Battery chainsaw test Stihl MSA200 vs DCS1600 vs 535iXP 

Saw arrived yesterday ru-vid.comUgkxfQm1wmg0ItKDLavxj1nXtQY9HP7EF504 and today I cut about 3/4 cord of wood with it. Make sure you get an extension chord that is at least 12 gauge wire, minimum. This is my first electric in about 10 years, and things sure have improved. The self-sharpener works great, and it just kept cutting through some pretty decent logs. Wear your eye protection, and ear protection. Excellent saw.

I bought the Echo. Fantastic saw. Buying an additional battery for longer stays in the woods. Great product.

Thank you for giving us an intelligent, well done video. No wasted time or needless talking. Perhaps the price comparison and warranty would also be helpful. I would like see battery saws demonstrated in cold climate like -15C. Our Canadian winters keep me from switching to battery.

Great video. Do it again but with a Stihl MSA 220 C on an AP 300 S battery against the same chainsaws. I would love to see that video

This was a great video! Thanks for making it. I love my Echo Gas chainsaws and it looks like the new Echo battery saws are the ones to beat.

VERY GOOD JOB ...ECHO CHAINSAW DID A LOT BETTER THEN I EXPECTED ...THANKS FOR THE INFO

Repeat the test with dcs 1600/ Husqvarna 540i xp/ stihl msa 220c ap300s

Excellent comparison, thank you.

Like the Video! Good test . Shoud some people convince to think different....

On the side by side 20 x 20 you angled the Echo significantly compared to the Stihl or Husqvarna which effectively gave it a smaller diameter. True, the echo cut a continuous thickness but the other two, though starting out thinner, had to cut through a thicker center section.

Aside from the charging time, you should explain the battery capacity, motor size and let them run together at full charge and see which lasts longer.

Well done, thanks a lot! 🙂 I´m about to trade in my MS271 for the quiet & handy MSA200, but with a 300 or 300S battery instead of the 200 you use in your setup. Really looking forward to it. 🙂

Great test comparison. Thanks

Very nicely done! Great video Jan!👍

Very good video, thanks... What ofcourse would also be very nice to know, how many charges can you do these batteries. When are they worn out? Any knowledge c.q. experience on that with the different brands?

Simply the best trainer of trainers

Good comparison. I appreciated the information

I think the MSA200 is recomended to use with the AP300battery.. thats why it seemed slow in this test. My MSA200 with AP300 is lightning fast

You used some different methods to test the saws and I like how you done it 👍🏻

Hey, what is in your opinion the better erconomic saw? The msa 220 or the 535i xp?

Moin 🇩🇪 Nice saw test, good details and good video-cut. 😎👍 Greetings Dirk

Nice video, explained well, top Jan!

Good test. I need to go back and review which one consistently stalled with the 2 kg overload (Edit: Husky!) The tapered shape of Stihl's bar puts it at a disadvantage in bore cutting because the length of cutting surface increases with the depth of cut. Non tapered bars don't do this.

Wow, super video👏👏👏👌👌

Weight ? Each saw? Am 86 years old……thanx Rich Rice

Thanks for the video ! I own a Echo dcs2500 and i'm in love with it, it's a pure bomb ! Do you know if Echo will release a new battery chainsaw like the dcs1600 but with more power ?

So it seems that you can get different batteries for one model, at least the more popular ones?

I have Husqvarna 535ixp but my battery is Bli300 not Bli200 like your battery and i think my battery is more powerful. Do you knov how much time i must leave the battery for charging for the first time? 45 hours or less ?

So which is best overall?

I have a 535iXP that I bought new and it has bee a TERD since day 1. I can only make a few cuts (always less than 10) and then it flashes the overheat signal and won't work again for 20 mins or so. Does not matter if it's summer or winter. Brought it to a dealer when it was still under warranty and they blamed the battery, not the saw. Took them almost a YEAR to get me a new battery (factory back order) now I am out of the warranty period, and the saw still won't do more than 10 cuts. Friend has one and his works great. Swap his battery for mine and his saw is still good and mine sucks. Husqvarna customer support won't help! They just refer me to a dealer. Dealer won't help because its out of warranty. Bought this new and have literally made less than 100 cuts with it. Total junk and even a "PRO" saw like this is no good and si I wasted a ton of money and Husq won't stand behind their product. Buyer Beware. By the way, I have a lot of other Husq equipment that has done well for me but this was a total waste. First time I splurged on Pro and just got hosed.

Would you plan on doing a comparison of the ECHO vs the Stihl 220 with their MS300 batterie? Any thoughts how it will come out? Thanks

well done jan loving the videos

I've seen a number of videos of the Stihl chainsaws (and lawnmowers) they typically show that they do not perform as well as their competitors, and are way more expensive. Too bad considering how good the 2 cycle products are.

Battery charging time for different battery and different power supply ?? Husqvarna have several power supplies and his bettery line has more capacities battery .

Super good video. I think the comparison on blades should be pointed out. If I am not mistaken the Stihl uses the Picco 1/4 inch blade and the others use a 3/8ths inch blade right?

Echo all the way

Nice t-shirt, where did you get that? -any sponsor?

What battery was in the Stihl? Thanks

The winner for quietness is Echo, the winner for aesthetics and ergonomics is Stihl. The horizontal inserting of battery in Husqvarna is quite ugly way to invent something unnecessary...

Go the Echo.

Ma che cazzo di prova è ?

Sthil MSA 200 It doesn't give full power with the AP 200 battery it nead to be AP 300 to get full power.

Что то тут не то, не чисто. Тест с ведром, видно как чувак одной пиле помогает усилием руки, а другим нет.

Another example, that brand names mean nothing but wasted money these days.

Sharp the husky and stihl!!!

Your sponsored by echo so of course you will say echo is best.

It was interesting i don't have the sthil msa 200 i have the 220 but this one compared with sthil 161T feels like a Chinese thing.

Echo Won

unfair test he is wearing eco clothing sponser

Only gas chains theese are fake 😠
