What is the capacity of the included battery (Amp-hours) and with a fully charged battery how many cuts in 3/4 inch plywood can you make with the saw?

on a full charge you are able to rip a full size sheet of plywood...along with a few 2x4's...I would recommend to always keep one on the charge...the saw is strong and stable...with this kit there is not much else you need in cordless tools...

Yes. I bought the trimmer with a 4.0 AH battery, could cut for nearly an hour with the chain saw.

When fully charged it just like a electric saw, if half charged it will cut but must cut slowly. I think it is a great saw, the 20 volt is very powerful.

I have run the makita uc4030a saw on a vector 2500 watt inverter powered by 2 walmart deepcycle batteries rated at 110 amp hours. Fully charged got about 1.5 hours of cutting time.

I believe what you are asking is if it is 1.5 (ah) amp hour is it ok to replace with a 3.0 amp hour battery. Yes,as long as they are the same voltage. Amp hour only relates to how long the tool will run on a full charge.

I do not use it for huge projects, I live on some acreage and I have trees I like to trim some distance from my house and I did not want a gas chain saw.The battery last about an hour, I suppose, but I never did so much at one time that it died. I also use other Black and Decker cordless products (drill and weed whacker) so I have two back up batteries on charge if I need them. i have cut six inch diameter hard wood branches with no problem. Be sure to get chain oil and use it before every cut, make sure the chain is installed in the right direction and have fun. I really like this product.

I have not tried yet but I do think so. So far, I used this to cut plywood (3/4"), tree (>2" ), and dry walls. Normally, you cut it with knife instead cutting to avoid dust. The battery drains fast when cutting than used with drilling.

I like this saw, but my battery is totally dead. :( I used to use it when I climbed my avocado tree to trim the branches. I liked it because it was lightweight. Battery dies after about 20 minutes of continuous use. So I would use it until the battery runs down. I ended by getting a cordless reciprocating saw which gets the WHOLE job done! My neighbor calls this B&D; saw a toy. Hope this helps!

Mine worked for about 20 to 30 minutes cutting wood. But I'm using regular batteries. I will probably buy a couple XRP batteries for this for hopefully extended life. I'm just using this for DIY purposes.

I have both, and the 20v lithium battery is far superior. I get 15 to 20 min on a fully charged battery, so plan on having several available. It is also worthwhile investing in a quick charger. The saw can cut at least 6" diameter, but take it easy and avoid overheating it. I burned one up, but B&D; covered it under warranty. B&D; factory service is great! It is light enough to cut one-handed. It has no unusual safety features, but it is a chainsaw, so be careful.

Each device requires a different amount of current. The chain saw requires the most, one full charged battery will last about 20 minutes cutting 2" diameter soft wood. Grass clippers about 45 minutes. But don't cut heavy grass very well. Hedge clippers I have not used. Chain saw is good for small quick trimming.

the Milwaukee 48-11-2830 M28 has a 3.0 amp hour battery.And you too could have found this out by using GOOGLE!

With full charge the battery lasts about 1 hour however the strength of the edger is much superior to my previous tool. With a large area to trim and length of time to recharge I plan to purchase another battery this season.

I purchased the saw with battery and charger. I also purchased a second battery

Walt - not sure if it comes w a battery but even if it does I would advuse considering another saw. The one I bought has battery life of just 18 minutes. That's usually ok for what I use it for- the occasional tree trimming - but for most folks, that's not enough. Btw when I complained about the 18 minutes, ryobi pretty much blew it off and pointed to various causes. BS is what I said. Won't buy a ryobi anything again.

Better in that mine was 4.0 amp hours capacity but was sold as 3.0 amp hour. I tested it and the capacity was better than my Makita batteries. Worse in that the new Makita batteries use cell balancing and draw power from all the cells for the internal chip. These generics do not allow cell balancing and draw power from only two of the cells. And these are a bit tight on the fit to some Makita tools.

I only own xrp batteries and service time depends on how hard I work the saw. For big jobs I use a corded saw. Over time I have noticed that the receiving contacts in the handle of the saw wear out and power cuts out. Maybe the vibrations loosen the contacts but one saw failed twice even after factory repairs.
