I have a Stihl and couldn't be happier. I have made a living with gas saws for 40+ years. Zipping oak is no problem as long as you keep it sharp. I actually find using it enjoyable.

What diameter logs can you cut with it.
Could you cut a 1/2 a pickup bed full with one charge?
Depends upon what Amp Hr battery you have. 5-AmpHr 20V DeWalt on a 12" 20V saw would get pretty close to that. I went DeWalt because I have a bunch of batteries for other tools already. Half-dozen 4's and a couple of flex-volt 6's will last a lot longer than I'm willing to cut.
I went battery powered because:
1. I use a chainsaw just often enough that the summbitch would never run if I had a gas model
2. The vast majority of my usage is trimming branches, not felling trees.
3. I don't need/use the trim-branches I cut down for anything.
