Milwaukee M18 chainsaw question

[ScottsGT]

Kit comes with the 12 amp battery. Anyone use it with the 9 amp battery with success? Kits out of the budget, but I’ve got a couple of the 9 amp batteries already.
Not planning on cutting up big logs or trees, just small limbs, trees or dead branches.
Got a 20 yo Husqvarna with very low time that was Dads that needs a new carb. But as little as I use one, I’d be doing major work each time I need to use it.

I have one. Works fine on a 9ah. I seldom use mine for more than 5 minutes at a time though.

I have a Stihl that I don’t use often, but I have never had a problem with it starting after I switched to the canned, pre mixed 2 stroke fuel. It is too pricey to use if you are running all the time, but it it is great for infrequent use.

9ah will overheat if you run hard. Works for limbing . I have used a 5ah for limbing

I didn’t think about the premix stuff. Something to consider.
