Electric chainsaw

I've never had a corded electric chainsaw that I would even compare to a gasoline chain saw. The new battery powered ones might be a different story. The newer brushless motors make a world of difference in power and battery life.

I've often used a battery Sawzall to trim trees, but I always carry a bucket of batteries with me.
 
After being blown in a couple times I'm pondering the option of an electric chainsaw. The average size tree is 8-10 inches and usually lodgepole pine. Anybody have any experience with these? Limits? Suggestions?
I’m a power lineman so we have to use saws quite often for power restoration. Mostly we use gas, but a few of our substation buckets have Milwaukee electric saws. They seem to work pretty well. We have Milwaukee pole saws on all our buckets. They’re also very nice.
