Battery powered tools can be much more powerful than corded tools. Corded tools are limited to 1500W whereas battery powered tools are not. For example a corded snow blower would never be powerful enough, but you can get battery powered snow blowers that are quite usable. Some of them will run 4 56V batteries in parallel to get the power.
Nothing hand-held is going to give you 1500W of course, the batteries would be too heavy.
- stdbrouw 2y agoAh, I guess things are a bit different in Europe with 230V. My corded chainsaw is 2400W (10A) and my corded wood chipper is 2800W (12A). I've also heard that our extension cords are typically thinner (1.5mm2 gauge) and easier to handle for the same reason.
- bryanlarsen 2y agoI was having trouble imagining being satisfied with a 1500W chipper.
- ewgoforth 2y agoIn the US we have the option of 220/240 V, but I'm not aware of any corded chainsaw that use that. It's typically used by electric stoves, clothes dryers, etc. We use 110/120 Volts for most appliances for safety reasons.
