The WORX company produces both the battery-powered chainsaw and the electric one. But the WG303.1 is a corded chainsaw. So, it doesn't come with any battery power. You have to plug it into the power outlet, then push the start button to start working. And if you think the cord is too small. You can extend the cable by attaching an external cable of 14 inches gauge. That way, you will get a better.
