Good day. I am interested in this product but I wonder if the saw is also battery and if positive I'd also like to know if you use the same battery dr

As the others have already answered, yes, they both use the very same battery, mine came with two batteries, and the saw will go thru batteries far quicker than the drill, which lasts a very long time. I also paid $89.99 for mine over three years ago. This current price of $125 is high. Look around for a better deal OR a newer version of this older model.

Yes. Mine came with two batteries, the charger, and the saw and drill. The batteries are interchangeable, as they are identical, so the drill and saw use the same battery. I've had this thing for a while now, and still use both tools, and they both work great. If the battery is low, the saw isn't as efficient. But if you are using a batter with at least a half charge, it cuts just fine and works great. If you're using this for major carpentry work on a construction site, I don't know if I'd suggest it, but if you're using it at home as a casual user and for various home projects, I highly recommend it.

Two batteries are included that power both the drill and saw. However, the saw goes through a battery charge much more quickly than the drill.

The answer to both questions is - YES! I'm a big Porter Cable fan. I have found from using the other major brands that Porter Cable does the best job for me. Battery life is one MAJOR feature I'm in love with. The torque on the drill is beyond excellent and the speed of the saw is outstanding. Both are very well balanced and a pleasure to use. My kit came with two batteries and I bought another as a back up. I haven't used the back up battery out of necessity. Just to keep it charged and working.

The saw uses the same battery as the drill and my order came with two batteries...

yes, the saw and drill both use the same battery and I have used these for 2 years. The battery holds up fairly well when sawing but will be determined by the type of wood. I have several of the Porter Cable tools and have been pleased. A lithium battery is a good choice if using the tools heavy.

Yes, the LXT batteries are compatible. And the saw is great. I use it much more than the one it replaced.

The batteries are different for the saw since it takes a lot of power to keep it spinning while cutting. I bought a 2 pack of the larger batteries to use with my saw and blower. The smaller ones are good for my drill and driver. All use the same charger.

I'm digging thru old email. Everybody got this correct. I have the saw and both compact and XRP Li batteries.

I don't see a manufacture date on my battery and doesn't work the way I would expect. The battery does hold a charge for quite awhile, but the saw turns off a lot. Not sure if it is the battery or saw.

It has a charging station. The battery removes easily from the saw and plugs into the charging station. You can store it on the station but always store it in charged state. The battery holds a charge for a long time.

Yes, the saw will take any of the 20 Volt DeWalt batteries but not the lower voltage ones. I am using a 3.0 amp hour one that is fine. The 1.5 amp hour is too small, too little power. I believe that there is also a 4.0 amp hour version. As the amp hour rating goes up so does the size. Not a problem on this saw but make a drill too big and heavy.

I am sorry, not sure about that. I would check with Hitachi to see what the policy is. Good luck. I have had no problems with my saw and have used it a lot.

I only own xrp batteries and service time depends on how hard I work the saw. For big jobs I use a corded saw. Over time I have noticed that the receiving contacts in the handle of the saw wear out and power cuts out. Maybe the vibrations loosen the contacts but one saw failed twice even after factory repairs.

I like this saw, but my battery is totally dead. :( I used to use it when I climbed my avocado tree to trim the branches. I liked it because it was lightweight. Battery dies after about 20 minutes of continuous use. So I would use it until the battery runs down. I ended by getting a cordless reciprocating saw which gets the WHOLE job done! My neighbor calls this B&D; saw a toy. Hope this helps!

In my case it was tool only , there might be ones that come with batteries By the way it seems to be a good saw i have both versions this just seems better . Hope this helps

Yes, the battery is included. It runs for quite awhile and recharges in a short time. We have the Earthwise lawn trimmer as well, and just use that battery if we want to continue using the chain saw. By the time the 2nd battery runs down, the 1st one is recharged.

G'Day Fernando, Sorry I did not get back to you earlier, but I was a little ill, fine now though. I have been using this with a Black and Decker blower vac. Since this is part of the range of tools that use this battery, I would not see a problem. If you have a look on Black and decker's website ( http://www.blackanddecker.com/products/lawn-and-garden/lawn/40v-max/40v-max-lithium-12-in-chainsaw/lcs1240 ), it shows the chainsaw on the bottom and the blower vac to it's left, all working off the same battery. The extra battery I bought through Amazon is still working very well and holding charge for about as long as the original battery. I use the blower vac several times per week to clean up all the blown leaves at the back door and patio area, so I have gotten good use out of it. Having 2 also means I can fully use one battery, then fully charge it as I use the other. They recommend that the batteries are fully charged before storage, so this works out well. Whether you are buying it as the only one or as a spare, I would recommend this for this chainsaw (after checking out the above website). Hope this answers your question.

No, it's battery only. By the way, I used mine yesterday to trim dead Osage orange limbs--about the hardest wood there is--and it worked great!

Charger comes with the saw. I would suggest, however, that you purchase a second battery. I did and have no regrets.

Yes. The saw did include a charger. It is a great saw. The battery last for an unbelievably long time.

Hi. I have had good luck with mine. I use it just like I would use my 71/4 inch saw. I see no reason why it would not work as long as battery is fully charged. Its come in handy to me more than just once. Nice little saw. Hope this helps.
