We upgraded about 10 years ago to a new set of tools and actually got in touch with DeWalt before buying that the damn batteries would be supported. They said yes, we bought, 5 years later, forget it. We're on our last battery that holds a charge (briefly) and when it goes, out goes the DeWalt. It won't be replaced with another.

That’s what I have. Clearly, I don’t put constant industrial use on them. I’ve had no problems.
My chainsaw is a Cobalt. Prior to this, all I owned were stiehl and they were fine. I’m older now and don’t have the strength and stamina for a big chainsaw. I get about 10 min of heavy cutting per battery and it takes about a half-hour to recharge. So I have two chargers and three batteries. “Theoretically” I could go at a constant pace, but then there’s the stamina issue. So I take five at battery change then get back to it.
I st have a gas splitter, which I’m very happy with. I wonder if they will ever go electric to drive the hydraulics.
