How To Change A Mini Chainsaw Battery: Step-By-Step

Things You'll Need:

• Mini Chainsaw
• Battery (or 2 batteries if you got em)
• Charger
• Outlet

You don't need a charger or an outlet but we do cover how to charge your battery replacement as well.

Nonetheless, if you have your chainsaw and batteries, you are good to go. 

Safety First

Make sure you have the safety lock on your mini chainsaw if you plan on removing the battery.

You don't want to accidentally activate the chain when you are about to change your battery.

Step 1: Remove The Battery

Say you want to take off the chainsaw to charge the battery.

Press down on the release lever on the battery and pull it away from the saw. See below:

If you need to charge it, now is the time. Plug it back into the power source and leave it there until the LED is green. You can use it again for your next job.

Having a battery-powered chainsaw means you will, of course, need to work with batteries.

It is a little bit easier than gas chainsaws, that is for sure but overall, it isn't too complicated.

If the battery is broken, you will need a replacement. Most aren't too expensive, especially for mini chainsaws. 

Step 2: Charge Your Batteries

Maybe you are troubleshooting your chain saw or just bought a brand new one. Okay. Fine.

You'll want to make sure the battery is charged. Not all these chainsaws have a long battery life, and fresh out the box they won't always be charged.

Plug whatever battery you have into a power source. If it isn't fully charged, it will light up red. At least, mine does:

If you don't have an LED indicator, I mean, I don't know what to tell you.

But, a few hours later it should be fully charged. All depends on the charging time.



When it's done, the LED will light up green:

Step 3: Put On The Battery

Okay, so now you take the battery and slide it onto the bottom of the mini chainsaw.

This step sounds complicated but it really is anything but complicated. It should slide on like a puzzle piece.

You'll hear a click.

In my case, the release button faces out towards the bar. So long as I line that up, I have no issues putting on the battery.

Step 4: Run The Mini Chainsaw

Okay, now test your saw to see if you did this correctly. If you did it correctly, the tool should brr-brr with no issue.

I don't see how you could mess this up but if you put it on and the chainsaw isn't working, you either 1) put it on wrong or 2) the battery has no charge.

Or there is another issue, like maybe the chainsaw is broken. Hopefully that is not the case.

But if everything is working smoothly, then go ahead and get outside and cut branches.

If you bought a large capacity battery, it'll have a much longer battery life and you'll be able to run it for longer.

The Taranzy Mini chainsaw comes with 2 batteries, so if you are always charging one, you will always have a replacement. It's a great buy. 

Okay, great. You don't need excess oil.

Final Say On How To Change A Mini Chainsaw Battery

That's pretty much it! We know this was a complicated topic... changing the battery on a power tool... okay, okay.

It wasn't complicated and most of you probably finished changing the battery before the end of this post.

Anyways, get outside with your little saw and get to pruning.
