However, we did about 4 hrs of cutting (not continuously) and never needed to swap.
Since he is close by, and his saw is usually available I have not spent $ to fix my gas saw. Since the saw & batteries are quite expensive I will never buy my own.

The key is when you buy more tools, buy all the same make and battery size. I buy all 18V Makita tools, so I have lots of batteries and chargers now.
Makita has a 40V saw also but all my other tools are 18V. So, I bought a saw that takes two 18V batteries.
The only negative to the battery powered saw is it's much heavier than my Homelite.
