Husqvarna makes a backpack battery. They charge about 1300 USD for it (or the equivalent thereof in my home country [1]). They don’t recommend it (and I’m not sure it’s compatible with) their electric chainsaws, only their brush cutters, leaf blowers etc. May be a safety thing, I’m not sure. The price, however, is pretty outrageous. Their smaller batteries are already a rip-off; the backpack battery is more expensive per watt-hour than the small ones. In my view it’s time for regulators to step in and push the tool companies towards battery compatibility, as the technology is now mature enough for standards to be viable.
