There are definitely some great new electric saws coming out now that battery and brush-less battery technology improves. EGO was one of the first "consumer" reasonably priced saws that came out a few years ago. I didn't get that brand because I wanted a smaller saw as it's the size of a normal gas saw. They do have a really cool carry case now that holds an extra battery and charger. The bottom of the bag has a little "basin" I'm assuming is to hold the blade oil that drips out. I haven't seen another battery saw with that.

I also 2nd, or 5th getting the Dewalt saw, EXCEPT, I recommend getting the smaller 20V - 12" blade one. It's very compact, uses Oregon blades and the 6 amp battery lasts a loooooong time. It also has a functioning safety brake like a normal saw. I don't know if any other 12" battery saws have that. If that blade is long enough, it will cut it. Plenty of power and it packs way better for Expedition purposes. I also cross over the battery for my drill and air compressor I use on my trips
