We have a gas Troy Built pole saw. So do know it works well. Yes I know ya asked battery. Only thing we have is 40 volt blower from Ryobi. It is every bit as good as a gas one. If the pole saw broke I would get A Ryobi so as the have them use same charger and batts. It was not cheap, the blower was over 200 but again is every good as gas ones I have used. We got it since all our other stuff is 4 stroke and did not want to mix oil and gas for one tool.

Following this post. I have an older craftsman weedwacker and bought the pole saw attachment. It works but I know a battery powered on would be a little easier, safer, and lighter to climb around with.

Depending on the amount of work and size of the tree limbs, a corded electric pole saw is a decent alternative. My neighbor has a corded Remington and that unit does good work.

I have a Green works 40v battery telescope. I like it very handy. Dislike is the telescoping features. Doesn't always stay in place, cumbersome to use at times. The quick clamps can be a pita.

I have a corded Sun Joe. Sun Joe Pole SawI have used the crap out of this saw and it's still going strong. Oregon chain, auto lube, I love it.

I am waiting for Harbor Freight to restock the Bauer unit. Mostly because I have the battery and charger for the leaf blower, and little chain saw. I got the little chainsaw since I had the battery system. Gave it a shot and the thing is great for cutting limbs off firewood logs.
I need a pole saw and figure it is similar to the chainsaw. I don’t know what all your needs are, but select a brand that offers other battery powered tools you may need.
I am looking at upgrading to 80 volt, primarily to have a good workhorse battery saw. I cut wood on a very regular basis and there are times I have a small job that I don’t want to smell like gas and exhaust smoke for five minutes of chore..
Several of my deputies keep Dewalt chainsaws in their cars to take care of downed trees. Beats the heck out of waiting an hour for the road department to get out of bed and do it.
I also recommend the battery powered saws for folks who would like to have a saw just in case, occasional home related needs.

I borrow my father-in-law's Remington when I need it. Works great! I should probably buy one($100) but he insists I use his instead.
