Stihl 150T -vs- Husqvarna T536LiXp

Check out this test we did today

running both saws today on the job and it feels like the 150T runs much faster but this is only caused by the noise that makes you feel you are going fast through the wood.
The battery saw lacks this nice two stroke sound and gives you the feeling it runs slower...

but when tested on each other, it seems quite the opposite

we tested with new sharp chains and both on max power and pressure. The battery side off the log was even a little bit bigger in diameter.

Hard to beat the torque of an electric motor!

Thanks for posting such pertinent good stuff Wouter.

What's the weight difference between the two saws?

[treestyler]

The weight on the Stihl 150 T is 2,6 kg without fuel oil bar and chain.

The weight on the Husqvarna is 2,4 kg without battery weights 1,2 kg and without chain and bar.

had to search that one up.

Cheers

Does Stihl have a battery powered option in the works?

Only a backhandled saw at the moment, but they are probably working on something ;-)
