Thanks for all this info Treestyler.I have been keeping a couple old 192t's going for a while now and need a replacement.And this is definately what I need.How well does it balance in your hands?

The balance is perfect !
The battery in the back and the engine on front with the oil tank makes it extremely well balanced.
I've seen your PM and will get back to you as soon as I get some further info. Cheers

That's weird, here it was first introduced on a tradeshow in 2011, so we were all expecting it for long....and I was happy I received mine last week !
I bet after you informed about this new battery saw they did some research ;-)
Hope they will soon be available in the states as well.

Well, they had the saw there to show off but they had no idea you could buy it in the European market. I would have thought they would be in touch with the rest of the company.
It's got to be bureaucratic red tape that's keeping it out of the us. I wish we could all get together and settle on one system so innovation won't get left behind.

Thanks very much for posting this. I'm interested. I also have a question, when do you add bar oil? Like everyone else, on a 2 stroke saw, we add oil when we refill fuel. This way, it never completely runs out of bar oil. On the battery saw, do you just refill when you swap batteries, or will it dry up before the battery dies?
Also, do you know if the battery charger is compatible with solar panel charging systems?
Thanks again!

I used it for a day now and did 2 full batteries and there was still enough oil left in de system. Cause it only uses oil when the saw is used you don't spil much. Compared to a petrol version, they will keep the oil pump spinning while running in standby.
I think it can be charged with solar pannels, but I think you have to ask that question directly to the Husqvarna main office, they sure will know about it ;-)
For here most people have green energy, so I'm happy to plug in at the costumers place.

great performance and nice handling, a bit getting used to the minimum noise, but high torque and power without the sound of a 2 stroke engine ;-)

TS, thanks for the video and update on this bat. power saw....if they ever make it to CA, im going to buy one before Bixler...lol

As long as the voltage is correct it doesn't make any difference what source the electricity is from. Generator, solar, outlet in the home...plug in and charge.
All sorts of RV campers that use solar panels to charge their 'house' batteries so that they don't have to run the vehicle engine and rely on the alternator to charge.

[/ QUOTE ]Sorry Wouter, but that's not true. All saws (don't mean the Chinese fake) these days have are clutch driven oil pumps.

Ok, thanks for that info Tom, I'm really a greenhorn when it comes to solar devices ;-)
Did some pruning today with the battery saw and it's fantastic to have this really silence in between cuts, you are much more aware of things going on around you and contact with the groundcrew is way better.
today I pruned trees the whole day on just 2 batteries and forgot to refill the oil ....... It was running dry at the end, you forget to putt the chain oil in cause you don't have to fill it up to keep it running ;-)
Just to keep you updated

This is about what I figured. Seems like the top of a chip box would make a great place for a large solar panel.

[/ QUOTE ]As long as it's output is 220 volts for these Euro machines.
BTW, those chargers don't just fill the battery's. There's a lot of calculating and measuring going on during the charging of those Lithium battery's. So I can imagine that the ingoing 'power' must be somewhat constant.
Charging the battery's of the chipbox and connecting to that could be a better option I guess.

It seems like in the USA the release date for the T536 LiXP is 2014.....
And the european machines aren't approved yet for american standards...at least that's what I have heard.
So you guys have to wait a little bit. I was surprised the release date is that much in between.
Hope they will get things going on after the succes over here and get it fixed to release it way sooner
Cheers,

It's so much more than a chipper tool Bixler.
I had my first go with mine today with a 25 centimeters carving bar.
Wouter aka Treestyler told me the chain speed setting at 14 meters per second (is that 42 feet?) is more than sufficient, so I started out at 14.
Reducing a birch that was pruned about 10 years ago.
The saw was used for a brief moment by my collegue yesterday and this morning during a one and a half hour climb in the birch I used the same battery. All branches except for three tiny ones where cut by the Husqy. When I finished pruning the tree three out of all four diodes on the battery still lit up when I checked the capacity.
Long story short?
I think my silky handsaw is loosing the designated place on my harnass and I will not take a petrol chain saw while pruning up a tree any more!!!!!
I never took my charger with me when I used the Dolmar battery saw and I will not do so with the Husqvarna, but I will defenitively make sure I can work the whole day with it. If that means buying two more batterys... So be it.
Actually, I need a new hedge trimmer. Are there also two batterys included?

Took the charger on every job the last days. People are very ethousiast about the saw and nobody minds if you charge a battery on the job.
If there is no power source available, I'll have to switch over to the petrol saws again. But on the 14 m/s it takes a long time to empty it pruning. So I reckon a day's work can easily be done with two full batteries.
