My 70 year old grandfather used to drop trees and use it to log... but a lot more effort than a 16" bar.

You may have answered this in a previous thread, but is the voltage related to the number of cells in the battery and is that what adds weight? Do you think 4.9 lbs is too heavy for a handheld tool?

Wow, 8 hours is long! My Ego batteries take about 20 to 40 minutes. By the time one lawnmower battery runs out the other one is ready to go.
