Two hundred and fifty cuts per charge is the claim, and it is the reason to pick the 80V 16-inch over Greenworks' own 40V and 60V saws at similar money: the highest-voltage pack in the range feeding the same 2.0 kW motor the 60V saws use means the electronics loaf rather than strain, and runtime follows. Chain speed is a modest 65.6 ft/s, so this is not a fast saw — it is a patient one that keeps going. Greenworks sells it with a 4.0Ah pack and the slow 2A charger for about $298, which is less than their 60V 16-inch kit costs with a smaller 2.5Ah battery. The 80V battery line is narrower than 40V or 60V and the packs are expensive bought alone, so this makes sense as a first 80V purchase rather than an addition.

Best for: Homeowners who cut in long sessions and want runtime rather than chain speed from a mid-size battery saw.

Manufacturer figures except the engine class and single-pass cut, which are derived here. What each spec means

  • Claimed 250 cuts per charge
  • 2.0 kW from the 80V pack
  • 4-year tool and battery warranty

Where it is strong

  • 250 claimed cuts per charge is the longest run of any 16-inch saw Greenworks sells
  • Cheaper than the 60V 16-inch kit and ships a larger 4.0Ah battery
  • 4-year tool and battery warranty, a year longer than the 40V line
  • Full-size 3/8"/.050 chain rather than the narrow .043 on the 40V 16-inch
  • 9.5 lb bare keeps it manageable for limbing work

Where it falls short

  • 65.6 ft/s chain speed is slow — it finishes cuts, it does not rush them
  • Ships the 2A charger, so refilling the 4.0Ah pack takes a full hour
  • 80V spare batteries are the priciest in the Greenworks range
  • Fewer tools on the 80V platform than on 40V or 60V
