Yes.
Also EGO has the fastest recharge on the market.

It isn't considered as important to DeWalt in that they focus on the range of tools that can be used and their 20v/60v Flex system has a rapid charger (not quite as fast as the EGO)... but that tool comes with the standard charger unless bought as a ''bare'' tool.

He could upgrade to the Flex battery and charger that would work if his 20v is a MAX... but the same amount of power in that system would require roughly a battery with 1/3 of the amp-hrs for the same run time. DeWalt doesn't make the Flexvolt in anything less than a 6ah as far as I know.

The chainsaws are actually more about balance than weight. Most gas-powered saws designed for homeowners will weigh a significant amount and may vibrate more than a professional design to be used continuously all day after day. So even with a big battery... electrics are rather light in comparison and have far less vibration. But they are just as dangerous, so care must be taken during operation.
