Don’t know much about battery operated ones, but I have a 14” McCullough corded electric one that I used for years with my motorhome to cut firewood while out camping, and to clean up fallen branches from the trees here in town. I have a couple of old gas powered ones that I haven’t used in 20 years. Gotta give ‘em to my son-in-law up in Fairbanks. They are stored in a wooden case I made about 30 plus years ago, and they look exactly like when I put them away. Gas powered chain saws are definitely not good for occasional use. That’s why a bought the electric one. That electric one works every time.

Consider the Honda generator/corded saw combo. Probably work without problems for years.
