Not a direct answer, but hopefully useful.
I have a gas chain saw, but cut more branches than trees and was in the
need for a battery pole saw I bought one of these from Harbor Freight:
ATLAS 80V Brushless Cordless, 10 in. Pole Saw
https://www.harborfreight.com/brands/atlas/80v-tools/80v-brushless-cordless-10-in-pole-saw-tool-only-59209.html
The line also has a ATLAS 80V Brushless Cordless 18 in. Chainsaw
https://www.harborfreight.com/brands/atlas/80v-tools/80v-brushless-cordless-18-in-chainsaw-tool-only-56937.html
Both have good reviews. The pole saw is fantastic. Last Labor Day HF
had a promotion where if you bought a battery (now $139), you got a free
tool. I also picked up an Atlas battery pole hedge trimmer that is
great. With both tools, the battery outlasts my arms. I've been very
impressed with both tools. My current battery tools are Makita and I
couldn't justify the price for the above items for occasional use. I
previously used Dewalt and the lower priced Dewalt had bad reviews for
plastic parts breaking.
HF also has a well reviewed lower priced BAUER 20V Cordless 10 in. Chainsaw:
