(3) How long does it run on one charge, and how long does it take to recharge?
Thanks!

1) Voltage output is different.
2) Single cut probably about 3/4 of the bar length, but a log can be rolled and with enough strength and control... about double the length of the bar... but I have seen professional amaze me with even a 12" bar. My 70 year old grandfather used to drop trees and use it to log... but a lot more effort than a 16" bar.
3) Dewalt suggests charging the 5ah 20v overnight... but requires at least 8 hours at room temperature to reach what they deem full.
