Just my opinion from 70 yrs old.

No question.
My son will be here next week and we will cut and split a lot of wood. He can run all day with the old Stihl Wood Boss. I am good for about an hour these days and I am back in shape for 65.
Where the electric chain saw really shines is branching, prunning and clean-up...maintenance tasks rather than making a living cutting wood. I also use it for wood fence repair. It cuts and notches oak boards like a surgeon.

I get it, trust me. I started with blowers in the barns for equipment and have not looked back.
They are the 75% solution here on the farm for certain tasks. The one area where the battery stuff just doesn't' work is weed whipping/the plastic-tined whips. The 27 year-old Stihl WW is great ergonomically and we will whip for hours at certain times of the year.
