Best Mini Cordless Chainsaws With Battery Included
As an Amazon Associate we earn from qualifying purchases.
A mini chainsaw cordless with battery is a small, battery-powered handheld saw, usually with a bar of 6 to 10 inches, that is built for pruning and light wood cutting. The best choice for most yards is a model whose listing includes a battery and charger, a bar that fits the branches you cut, and a safety lock. This guide compares eight mini chainsaws from the product pack, and it names clearly which listings include a battery and which do not, so you do not buy a tool you cannot run out of the box.
Quick answer
- For a mini chainsaw that ships with a battery and charger from the same brand, the CRAFTSMAN listing includes a V20 2.0Ah battery, a charger and a 10-inch bar.
- For a two-bar kit with two batteries, the Supstable 6 and 8 inch listing includes two 2000mAh batteries and a charger, with a 1000-watt brushless motor described in the bullets.
- For the longest reach, the Supstable pole saw combo describes a telescopic pole to 16 feet and two 4.0Ah batteries.
- If you already own a DEWALT 20V or Milwaukee M18 battery, look at the compatibility listings, but read them closely because they do not include a battery.
How to choose a cordless mini chainsaw with battery
Start with the battery question, because it decides whether the tool runs when it arrives. The listings in this group fall into three groups. Some include one or two batteries and a charger, such as the CRAFTSMAN, Supstable, SUNCHERS, Seesii, RLSOO and Supstable pole saw listings. Others include a single battery only, such as the IMOUMLIVE listing, which includes one 21V 2.0Ah battery and charger. A third group is sold without a battery, and the DEJUNPIOOL listing says plainly that it is compatible with a DEWALT 20V battery with no battery or charger included.
Next, check the bar size. Mini chainsaws in this group offer 6-inch bars for small branches, 8-inch bars for thicker limbs, and 10-inch bars for larger cuts. The CRAFTSMAN listing gives a 10-inch bar and says it is designed for cuts up to 8 inches thick. The Supstable listing includes both 6-inch and 8-inch guide bars. The Seesii and RLSOO listings are 6-inch saws, and the DEJUNPIOOL listing includes both 6-inch and 8-inch chains.
Third, look at the runtime and motor figures. Listings give runtimes such as up to 60 minutes, up to 80 minutes and up to 100 minutes. Those figures depend on the battery, the load and the cut, so treat them as the listing’s claim rather than a guarantee. The motor is also described in different ways: some bullets give wattage, such as 800 or 1000 watts, while others describe a copper or brushless motor without a wattage figure.
Fourth, weigh the tool. The bullets give weights of 2.2 pounds for the IMOUMLIVE listing, 2.6 pounds for the RLSOO listing with battery, 2.7 pounds for the Seesii and DEJUNPIOOL listings, and 3.2 pounds for the Supstable listing. A lighter tool is easier to hold one-handed overhead, which is why several listings name seniors and beginners as the intended users. The CRAFTSMAN listing gives 7.9 pounds in its specification table.
Finally, check the safety and maintenance features. Most listings mention a safety lock that requires pressing a button before the trigger. Several mention an automatic oiler that keeps the chain lubricated, and some mention tool-free chain tensioning.

Review: the CRAFTSMAN mini chainsaw in depth
The CRAFTSMAN listing is the clearest case of a mini chainsaw with a battery in the box. The kit includes the saw, a V20 2.0Ah battery and a V20 charger, so the tool runs once the battery is charged. The bar is 10 inches, which the listing says is designed for cuts up to 8 inches thick. A longer bar than the 6-inch models in this group gives more reach into a thicker limb, and the listing presents it as a pruning and tree-trimming tool.
The bullets describe an auto-oiling feature that keeps the chain lubricated during use. The bolt-lock chain tensioning clamps the bar in place. The listing describes the VERSATRACK hook, which lets you hang the tool on a compatible wall system. The VERSATRACK system is sold separately, so buy it only if you plan to use it. The specification table gives 7.9 pounds and a rating of 1.5 kilowatts, and the item type is listed as a chain saw.
The trade-offs are weight and runtime. At 7.9 pounds, the CRAFTSMAN is heavier than the 2.2 to 3.2 pound 6-inch and 8-inch models in this group, so it is less suited to long one-handed work. The listing does not state a runtime per charge, and the kit has one battery, so a second V20 pack would be needed for long sessions. If you plan long sessions, a two-battery kit may suit better.
Two close alternatives in the group are the Supstable 6 and 8 inch listing, which includes two batteries and two bars, and the IMOUMLIVE 6-inch listing, which is the lightest battery-included option at 2.2 pounds according to its bullets.
FAQ
Does a cordless mini chainsaw with battery come with the battery?
Some do and some do not. The CRAFTSMAN, Supstable, SUNCHERS, Seesii, RLSOO, IMOUMLIVE and Supstable pole saw listings include a battery and charger. The DEJUNPIOOL listing says the battery and charger are not included. Read the included components line on each listing before buying, because a title can name a battery that is not in the kit.
What bar size should I buy?
A 6-inch bar suits small branches and light pruning, and the listings describe it for one-handed use. An 8-inch bar suits thicker limbs. The Supstable and DEJUNPIOOL listings offer both sizes, and the CRAFTSMAN listing gives a 10-inch bar for cuts up to 8 inches thick.
How long does the battery last?
The listings state runtimes of up to 60 minutes, up to 80 minutes, and up to 100 minutes. Those figures depend on the battery, the load and the cut. The CRAFTSMAN listing does not state a runtime, and the IMOUMLIVE listing does not state one either. Plan for the runtime the listing gives, and carry a second battery for longer work if the kit includes one.
Can I use a mini chainsaw on a pole?
The Supstable pole saw combo is designed for it. The listing describes a telescopic pole that reaches up to 16 feet, and it includes an extension pole. The other listings in this group are handheld saws, and the pack does not describe a pole attachment for them.
Will a battery from another brand fit?
The compatibility listings say so for specific packs. The DEJUNPIOOL listing names DEWALT 20V batteries and gives model numbers. Another listing in this group names a Milwaukee M18 battery. Both are sold without a battery, so you must own a compatible pack. Check the model list in the listing before you buy.
What safety gear should I use?
Several listings include goggles and gloves. Wear eye and hand protection, keep both hands on the saw, and keep the guard in place. Several listings describe a safety lock that must be pressed before the trigger, and the Supstable listing describes a wood debris baffle. Read the manual for the full safety instructions, and keep bystanders clear of the cutting path.
Bottom line
For a mini chainsaw that works from the box, choose a listing with a battery and charger. The CRAFTSMAN is the best fit for a longer bar and a V20 owner, the Supstable 8 and 6 inch kit is the best value for two bars and two batteries, and the Supstable pole saw combo is the choice for high branches. If you already own a DEWALT or Milwaukee battery, the compatibility listings may suit you, but they do not include a battery. Confirm the included components on each listing before you order.
