Does this saw come with a battery? The comparison chart says it does but the description seems to say it does not????

Walt - not sure if it comes w a battery but even if it does I would advuse considering another saw. The one I bought has battery life of just 18 minutes. That's usually ok for what I use it for- the occasional tree trimming - but for most folks, that's not enough. Btw when I complained about the 18 minutes, ryobi pretty much blew it off and pointed to various causes. BS is what I said. Won't buy a ryobi anything again.

Batteries not includedI own other Ryobi tools so I had a few of them alreadyI have used the saw and it is great I cut some good size branches with itit a good idea to purchase several batteries so u don't have to stop working

Mine came with the smaller-capacity battery, and I later bought a larger capacity battery. My charger charges both of them, and I'm glad I did that, because I can have one battery charging while I'm running the saw with the other one. Ryobi has made some battery improvements since I bought my saw and higher-capacity battery. These saws, batteries and chargers are sold at Home Depot, and if I were you I'd go to Home Depot to see exactly what the saw comes with, and what extra/spare batteries and chargers you might also want to buy.

I does NOT come with a battery as far as I remember. It would say on the package. NOTE: I would send you mine for $30 plus shipping hardly use. Honestly however, I feel it is pretty useless. You can't cut much with it as far as thickness, it also jumps around when you are trying to cut and it is slow cutting, unfortunately. I have several other Ryobi 18 volt attachments that I like, week wacker, drill, recipricating saw and my newest addition a vacuum that works great.

Charger comes with the saw. I would suggest, however, that you purchase a second battery. I did and have no regrets.

This saw came in a box without a battery or blade. Since I own several Ryobi power tools, I already had a battery for it. You can buy various blades on Amazon.

Yes it does. I bought an extra just in case. Haven't needed it yet. You'll like the saw. Very accurate!

No battery. Buy another tool that comes with one, or buy the model that comes with a battery. This one does not.

Yes it does. It is a great saw but if you are going to use it for fine work like furniture building you need to buy a premium saw blade. The one supplied is a good middle of the road blade.

Mine came with a battery and a charger. Superior tool. Well worth the price.

No it does not. However, i also went ahead and bought a battery when i got this kit, and the battery came with a tool kit. Here is the link, http://amzn.com/B009SJGD4G

Reconditioned tools/appliances generally do not come with a battery. Mine did not. Carefully read the ad to understand EXACTLY what you will get.

The saw uses the same battery as the drill and my order came with two batteries...

The pole saw that I purchased came with a 20 volt battery. I later purchased a 40 volt battery to use as a spare, and it works just fine with my saw.

I like this saw, but my battery is totally dead. :( I used to use it when I climbed my avocado tree to trim the branches. I liked it because it was lightweight. Battery dies after about 20 minutes of continuous use. So I would use it until the battery runs down. I ended by getting a cordless reciprocating saw which gets the WHOLE job done! My neighbor calls this B&D; saw a toy. Hope this helps!

I have no idea. We purchased the saw with the smaller battery and later purchased the bigger battery. Both work greaat. We use the smaller battery for small jobs and the big battery for the larger jobs. The bigger battery has a longer time between charges so it allows us to get more done.

Yes, it did. Now this part of the answer is going to seem strange. The blade looked strange - like not very sharp, so I bought one. Now I am no expert by any means on saws so this blade could have worked quite well but I didn't try it.

Yes, the battery is included. It runs for quite awhile and recharges in a short time. We have the Earthwise lawn trimmer as well, and just use that battery if we want to continue using the chain saw. By the time the 2nd battery runs down, the 1st one is recharged.

not sure if there is a battery but unhinge the saw andlook at the hinge area straight back fromthe blade. There is a warning about laser radiation there. Iwould start there.

No battery included. Also, no charger included. This tool is ideally suited to those who have the other Makita 18 V tool systems.
