EGO Power+ CSX5000 Commercial 20" Farm & Ranch Chain Saw

Saw really cuts great, powerful and easy to handle. Using the ARC 8AH Batteries. The speed set feature I thought would be worthless, turned out to be great. What I found is a lower chain speed actually cut through certain logs faster (probably from preventing the teeth from bouncing over the wood). I had no trouble with the batteries overheating. This was probably due by having the chain properly sharpen and not forcing saw (very little downward pressure needed).

I do like the saw. It had plenty of power,and with a new chain, it cut right through 18” red oak rounds. But I would say , after about 15 minutes of continuous use the 10 ah battery did overheat. I popped in another 10 ah battery and it happened again. I have the 18” saw also, and I don’t have the same problems,and that’s using the same 10 ah batteries. Any feedback on why the batteries overheat would be appreciated…

I just got done cutting down a 20" choke cherry. I used the CS2000 to cut the tongue and groove notch. Then I finished felling with a CS1800. Both saws performed admirably.
THEN I started cutting up the trunk with the CSX5000; and I didn't get very far before the 12ah battery overheated. So I swapped it out with the 8ah battery that came with the saw.
I didn't get very far when the saw itself overheated!
It was now out of commission. Luckily I had the 2000 with me to finish up the trunk; although still overheating the battery.
