Husqvarna T540i XP - Bar & Chain Options

If you are referring to Stihls new 'light 04 bar,' well, at least compared to the the 'old' model that name is a lie..... (16" bars from a 201 here)

‘Rebranding’ is what my dealer said. Such a crock though.

I saw someone call it the "Live, Laugh, Log' font on the bar, thought that was pretty funny. It's so stupid looking....

I just got the mk3 T540 gasser, and it seems to take the same bar and chain as the battery T540. can anyone confirm or deny this suspicion? I have been looking around to find a better bar/chain setup for it, but after reading this thread again, I suspect I will stay with it until a Japanese maker comes out with a lighter weight version of the same size gear.
