Giving it a 9 hour battery charge and will do a review tomorrow. I did try it on a couple of branches and so far so good!
Look forward to it.

Get a chopsaw
I tried to use a chop saw on some post oak I got and that stuff is so hard I couldn't keep it held down and it came back at me. Jammed my thumb pretty good. The blade on the saw is sharp but it's a medium toothed blade. It probably would work better with larger teeth. Anyways, I've resorted to cutting with an old fashioned hand saw for this stuff.
The pecan, hickory, etc is no big deal in the saw. The post oak is just too tough.
Blades designed for a miter saw or RAS (radial arm saw) use a blade with very little or no hook angle at all. The same hook angle that works fine on a table saw blade could cause the miter or RAS type machines to suck the wood into the saw or run the saw towards the operator – called self-feeding. Using a blade that was designed for a table saw on a miter saw or RAS could be both ineffective and dangerous.
