If Im going battery its for convenience and usually small stuff, so 16" is way bigger than what I want. In other words, I cant help you.
At some point in life its time to quit chasing the pot of gold and just enjoy the rainbow. FR

One of my saws is an old Craftsman electric, 110v.
It's a bear and apparently they last forever.
If you can find one, I'd say take a look.

I bought the Ryobi 10" with 4ah battery and an extra battery. Saw does a good job of falling small cedar trees and brush. That's what I bought it for. Keep it sharp and let the saw do the work (it's not fast like a gas rig).
Only thing I don't care for is it has a manual oiler and oozes oil when not in use. I have to keep a piece of cardboard under it to catch the mess.

My 18vt brushless has been great for home or lease use, especially since I have a bunch of other 18vt stuff.

Never used one but have spent a lot of time with gas. What is it that you guys like about electric?

Got a GreenWorks 4ah battery pole saw and it's been surprisingly good. I seldom need a polesaw and didn't want a gas one that sits most of the year so battery powered made sense. It'll make around 60-80 cuts before needing a charge. Stihl Farm Boss for the rest of it.

The one I used once chain would stop immediately after letting off the trigger. Seemed like a pretty good safety feature.

I don’t edit my posts…
Misspelled a few words there, when I proofed it I just made sure the links worked.
The Rhyobi 40volt chainsaw is great, unlike the 18volt, it works very well. I’ve used the Ego and Dewalt and would prefer not to again.
Never been to a camping world. I prefer Dick's to be honest.

Don't know about the best, but I went with the Stihl 140. It is handy for road clean up around the ranch and light work round the house. Wood boss 028 for the heavier work, been using it for a long time.

Dewalt 20V has been great for me. I use it regularly. Got an Oregon 16" bar ($28) to replace the 12" bar that it came with.

I hunted a ranch in CO last year and all the guides carried Stihl or Dewalt on their SxS. They are clearing deadfall after every high wind day, its seems. they are guides so not exactly easy on gear. They where happy with both
