Find the Perfect STIHL Chainsaw for Your Needs
Explore the key differences between STIHL's battery & petrol chainsaw range.
Choosing between a battery-powered or petrol chainsaw depends on your priorities. Let’s break it down.
Battery Chainsaws
Quiet, lightweight, and emission-free, battery chainsaws are perfect for smaller jobs around the home. They start easily, require minimal maintenance, and are ideal for noise-sensitive areas. However, they may lack the power and runtime needed for bigger jobs.
Performance & Power
Great for lighter, shorter tasks. Typically lower in raw power but easy to handle.
Running Costs and Maintenance
Higher initial cost for batteries but low ongoing expenses. Little maintenance is needed.
Environmental Impact
No emissions and quieter, making them both eco-friendly and neighbourhood-friendly.

Petrol Chainsaws
For heavy-duty tasks, petrol chainsaws offer unmatched power and runtime. They’re built for tough environments but are noisier and require more maintenance, including fuel and oil mixing.
Performance & Power
Higher power and stamina for demanding jobs like felling trees and large-scale cutting.
Running Costs and Maintenance
Lower upfront cost but ongoing fuel costs and regular maintenance (spark plugs, filters).
Environmental Impact
More powerful, but they release emissions and are noisier.

What’s Right for You?
For smaller, quick jobs around the house, battery-powered chainsaws offer convenience and simplicity. But if you need the endurance and power to tackle tough or extended tasks, a petrol chainsaw is your best bet. It all comes down to the scope of your work and how much power you need to get it done.
