- I love my gas saw’s (Husqvarna 570 and Stihl 261) but I don’t always want to bring them on camping and overlanding trips.
During the summer months I don’t want to bring the gas and run the saws when it’s fire season. My Dewalt 20v saw has been great for the last several years but sometimes I need to cut more than it can handle so I started looking at a larger battery powered saw.
The Husqvarna 350i looked like it was going to fit my needs and was on sale so I pulled the trigger on it.
Be sure and check out the DLWoregon CZcams channel for a more in depth review and comparison of this saw. Link to his video below:

Can't avoid the reality of having a multitude of different batteries & chargers, yet I got to say I'm liking it! Not having to carry fuel and dealing with the smell inside the canopy shell is a big plus.
Yes, not having the gas especially in summer is my biggest reason for liking the battery saws. Also the noise level is very low.
I do like the battery saws but I still love my gas saws, just don’t want to bring them in the hot dry season.
I'm always thinking I need a battery saw. I wonder, does the bar oil leak out when its just sitting?
The battery saws are a great thing to have for those camping trips in the PNW where trees often fall across roads. Having a battery powered saw is nice too if it’s stored in the vehicle since you won’t have to bring gas and deal with that mess.
They are also very quiet.
So far on my Husqvarna 350i it does not leak but on my Dewalt it leaks mostly from the fill cap.
On my gas saws it was 50/50. My 16 year old Husqvarna 570 does not leak but my few months old Husqvarna 460 leaks a little bit and my 8ish year old Stihl 261 does not leak but my Stihl 251 leaks from the cap.
They shouldn’t leak at all but some do, sometimes if it’s the cap some debris can get in there and prevent a good seal.
I usually set the saws on rags or paper towels if it’s a leaky one getting transported to cut down on the mess.
@@scottalpine okay thank you very much for that excellent response. Lots to consider, but I'm looking around. Thanks for your video and reply
Put a cord on it
I pretty fond of the battery, gas powered is my favorite but the battery powered sure is nice sometimes.
