Harbor Freight has a good price but then you have to buy a charger and battery. Amazon has to many to
understand. The gas saw makers are awful expensive.

Looking for something with a 14-16 inch bar that will cut for an hour, get used 2 or 3 times a year and start
every time. Bar and chain must be after market available. Price is important!

I've got a 120 volt chain saw that I really like. If I need to use it out quite a ways, I have a portable generator.

I bought a Oregon battery chainsaw on eBay. works good, great to carry along on truck battery seems to last longer than the user. I also have 3 other chainsaws, all get used. the oregon was a wise purchase. always ready to go and has a self sharpener.
 
I recommend you buy a bare

Saw that you have batteries
And charger for.
I got this saw for $100.
Sooner or later batteries are likely to fail before tools fail.
 
My concern is how much is the replacement battery? Many times people find out the replacement battery cost too much, isn't worth it.
 
No more use than that you may have difficulty with the batteries going bad. Rechargeable batteries need frequent use. If your needs is close to an electric source you might consider a electric chainsaw.
 
Before I got a cordless, I have a craftsman 4 hp 18 inch electric. If you plan to do a lot of cutting a cordless can't keep up with electric.
I have a 3500 watt generator mounted on a lawn card and pull it behind Kawasaki mule.

Agree batteries don't last forever, that's why I recommend getting a saw that uses batteries you already have.

That was true 20 years ago. Not so much now.

Every rechargeable tool these days comes with a lithium battery. These are capable of sitting for months at a time with almost no loss of charge, and no detrimental effect from sitting. Pick the tool up and use it.
 

I've got a 4-1/2" side grinder with a 20 volt lithium battery, the battery does not last very long for that. It does do fairly well in my 3/8" drill motor.

I bought an Ego from Home Depot which is part of a yard tool system. The battery is 56v It will last 45 minutes which is longer than I last. It takes a standard Oregon chain. I like it over a gas model because it stops when you let go of the trigger
 
The only cordless chain saw I have is a Dewalt pole saw. The only reason I got it was it uses the same batteries I use daily in my cordless drills. I think otherwise whenever I needed the thing the batteries would have to be charged all day first.
 
I have had a HF 40 volt Lynx for a couple of year. Wife got it for me for Christmas. It has been very handy for electric fence work and trimming around the yard. Much more useful then the small Homlite she got me a couple of year ago. I have worked on that more hours then I have used it. The little Lynx impressed me so much I bought the string trimmer.
 

I bot the Worx brand on Amazing with the pole saw attachment and the reciprocating saw combo for a hundred and some bux. I think it works great. The pole is easy to attach and extend. The handle of the pole has a switch and balance is good. The recip saw that came with it is even better. It has tree blades for cutting limbs. Best thing about the recip saw is that it folds/rotates around and becomes a jig saw too. Blades are easy to change. Probably will get the Worx trimmer to have another battery.
 
I've got the same 20V Dewalt that George has. I thought it would be more of a toy than a tool. Turns out to be quite handy and I would highly recommend it for what OP intends. Might not get an hour run time but last enough to get some work done. The thing I like about Dewalt is their 20V line has many different tools that all run on the same battery. I have three batteries and one is on the charger at all times. Now I just need to get some images of their 20V grease gun in the wife's search history so some of those annoying pop-up ads will display it when she's on line.

We use a dozen DeWalt 20 volt tools for work so for us the bare tool chainsaw and pole saw were the way to go. Had them a month. Very impressive. My folks have the Walmart brand 40 volt chainsaw and the DeWalt cuts circles around it.
 
I'll check them out I would love to have a battery powered saw that was capable of cutting a few limbs so I wouldn't have to fire up the gas ones for a few minutes of cutting.

What's the Ah rating for the battery? Some tools use more power than others, and need a bigger battery.

For a drill you can get away with the tiny 1.5, 2, and 3Ah batteries. For a grinder 4Ah is the minimum, 6Ah gives you decent run time.
