Greenworks 80V 16 in Cordless Electric Chainsaw — 2.5 Ah Kit, Brushless Motor & Chain Brake

The Greenworks 80V 16" Cordless Electric Chainsaw is a gas‑free, brushless‑motor saw kit that delivers near‑gas power, a 16-inch cutting bar, and a 2.5 Ah battery plus charger for fast, maintenance‑light yard work.

Built to replace small gas models without the fuss of fuel, this Greenworks cordless chainsaw blends brushless motor efficiency with a 16" guide bar and 25 m/s chain speed for confident cutting on limbs, fallen branches, and property cleanup. Its design emphasizes homeowner safety and convenience: mechanical chain brake, automatic oiler, and side‑access tensioning minimize downtime so you can finish jobs faster. Because it runs on the Greenworks 80V battery platform, the included 2.5 Ah pack works with 75+ other tools in the family, simplifying storage and charging across your yard equipment.

How does this saw compare to a small gas chainsaw?

The 80V brushless motor produces torque comparable to many 50cc gas engines while eliminating fumes, pull cords, and routine engine maintenance. Expect immediate electric starts and steadier performance at idle and cut load without gas mixing or spark plug work.

• Brushless motor for improved torque and longer motor life
• Electric start—no choke or pull cord
• Zero gas emissions and lower routine maintenance
• 2.5 Ah battery provides portable runtime; compatible with larger 80V battery options

What safety and maintenance features help keep the saw reliable?

Safety is addressed with a mechanical chain brake to stop the chain quickly in kickback scenarios. Routine upkeep is simplified by an automatic oiler and side‑access chain tensioning so you can refill and adjust without tools or disassembly.

• Mechanical chain brake reduces kickback risk
• Automatic oiler maintains chain lubrication during use
• Side‑access tensioning makes chain adjustments fast and tool‑free
• Durable brushless motor reduces wear and extends service life

What kind of cutting tasks is the 16" bar best for?

The 16‑inch bar balances portability and cutting capacity, making it ideal for routine homeowner chores like pruning, storm cleanup, and cutting firewood. It’s long enough for medium limbs and small trunk sections while staying nimble for overhead and close‑quarters work.

• Efficient for pruning and trimming trees in yards
• Handles fallen branches and light storm debris with ease
• Sufficient for cutting small to medium firewood rounds
• Compact enough for storage and transport on property jobs

How does battery and platform compatibility affect long‑term value?

The included 2.5 Ah 80V battery and charger deliver immediate run time for common homeowner tasks and plug into Greenworks’ expanding 80V ecosystem. Investing in this platform reduces future battery clutter and lets you upgrade to larger packs if you need extended runtime for bigger jobs.

• 2.5 Ah battery and charger included for instant use
• Compatible with 75+ Greenworks 80V tools and batteries
• Option to upgrade to higher‑capacity batteries for longer jobs
• Simplifies charging and storage across multiple tools

Who is this for: homeowners who want near‑gas cutting performance without gasoline odors, frequent tune‑ups, or pull starts. It suits anyone needing a portable, safe, and easy‑to‑maintain chainsaw for regular yard work, storm cleanups, and small firewood processing—especially if they already use or plan to build out Greenworks’ 80V battery system.
