all right ready to see looks good
hi guys today i'm with my colleagues josh and ryan and we're going to be testing the husqvarna
professional series of battery chainsaws we've got the 540 ixp the 535 ixp the t535 ixp and the t540
ixp we're going to be putting them through their paces we've got some four inch ash timber here
to be able to do some nice little cuts with them we've also got some bigger cypress to be able to
go through as well we're going to be putting the five three five series and the 540 series through
their paces to see which one cuts quicker which one outperforms the other and later on we're going
to see how long a bli 300 will last in a new 540 ixp chainsaw so ryan here has got the t535
ixp the older generation of the top handle battery saw from husqvarna and josh has got
the t540 ixp the newer version of the top handle saw from husqvarna's battery range i've got two
bli 300 batteries identical batteries both of them are fully charged so we're going to see
what they can do each let's have a look first up we've got ryan with the t535 ixp off you go mate
now we've got josh for the t540 ixp husqvarna's newest battery top handle
saw
so now we're going to move on to the backhandle sword ryan with the 535 ixp
and josh with the 540 ixp let's see how they cut
now we've got josh with the 540 ixp go for it mate
so we've tested it in some four inch ash which is probably quite common for
especially the top handle saws to be cutting that size sort of timber it's quite obvious
to see that the 540 ixp absolutely stormed that it just went through it like butter
it was brilliant anyway we've now got a 12 inch piece of cyprus in our sawhorse so now we're just
going to use the back handle saws and do this on a time thing to see which one goes through quicker
i have a feeling which one's going to beat the other but we'll find out let's have a
go at that right for the 535 ixp first one saw the ready ryan visor down three two to one go
so now it's time for the 540 ixp let's just make sure it's fair let's
just make sure all the sawdust off the top of the log a minute
right josh so they're ready visor to down sew in three two one
uh
so there we've gone through that log we've seen what this saw can do we've done the
timings on it it's pretty clear to see that the 540 ixp is a pretty cool saw but what you guys
have really wanted to know is how long it lasts on one battery now these guys have had a play
i'm gonna have some fun myself so i'm gonna charge that battery back up full again and i'm gonna go
and saw a load of ash log we're gonna be able to see how long it lasts on one charge how many
logs we can get out of it on one charge or how many cups and see how well it performs so it's
my turn to have a play now and i've got my pp on excuse the steel chainsaw trousers but that's all
i've got we've got the 540 ixp and we've got a bli 300 battery all 9.4 amp hours of it and it's
been we've fully charged it filled right up to the brim and we're going to see how many cuts we
get see how long it lasts and go from there so we're ready to start the timer let's go for it
so
that was about 40 minutes of cutting and the battery is it's done it's gone we might be able to
push it a little bit more as with any lithium-ion battery once it cuts out stick it back on charge
change the battery it's always going to have two batteries charge one while using the other
but that's our recommendation but as the kit comes with a bli 300 battery that's what we've
done we've used the 540 ixp on the bli 300 battery as it's supposed to be used and we've done the air
done about 40 minutes cutting so it's probably around the same as what a petrol saw would be
depending on how hard you're pushing it i got the hard job now i'm going to count the logs to see
how many logs we've cut i don't know how many cuts that would be we might be able to work that out
but we'll whiz through that bit but i'm going to count them just so we can see how much we've done
wow pretty cool
give me some to braces trousers
so we need a petrol chainsaw in the background one of our workshop labs running it up and normally
i'd say yeah there he is down there running up a man saw well you know but this little girl's
done us proud and she she's an absolute weapon just a 360 log sir 360 logs from one charge
it's pretty cool i i'm going to get one for myself i like it it's good but anyway i'm gonna get out
of my ppe and we'll round up back in the studio so there we are guys we put these four husqvarna
professional series battery chainsaws through their paces and it's quite obvious to see that
the new 540 series of battery saw is pretty cool it performs just like a petrol and i didn't think
by 2020 ready to say that a battery saw would be something i'd replace my petrol with i love
all the battery streamers and hedge trimmers and blowers and everything like that they're all great
but the chainsaw side of things was it was all right you know it was good but it wasn't quite
there in my opinion that changes everything that is just phenomenal to cut through 360 greenhash
logs in 40 minutes on one charge is pretty amazing the best thing all these chainsaws are available
