Sun Joe cordless chainsaws + pole saws are available with different battery requirements. Most current cordless models in this category use the 24V IONMAX battery system, but the number of batteries and recommended battery capacity can vary by model.
Always check the complete model number before purchasing or installing a replacement battery.
Battery requirements are model-specific. Do not assume that every battery capacity or battery system is appropriate for every cordless chainsaw or pole saw.

Does My Tool Require a Specific Battery Capacity?
It depends on the model.
For example, the 24V-PS8, 24V-PS10, and 24V-HCS kits are offered with a 2.0 Ah 24V IONMAX battery.
The 24V-10CS product information specifically recommends a 4.0 Ah or higher battery. Runtime and the total number of cuts per charge can vary depending on the battery.
The 24V-X2-CS16 is different from the single-battery models. It operates using two 24V IONMAX batteries to provide 48V maximum system power.
Is My 24V IONMAX Battery Compatible?
Sun Joe's 24V cordless chainsaws + pole saws in the IONMAX system are designed for 24V IONMAX batteries.
However, the required battery quantity and any recommended battery capacity depend on the exact tool. Check the model information before selecting a battery.
Can I Use My 24V Battery with Other IONMAX Tools?
The 24V IONMAX system is designed for cross-compatibility across compatible Snow Joe + Sun Joe 24V IONMAX tools.
For example, the 24V-PS10 product page identifies the IONMAX battery system as cross-compatible with more than 150 tools.
Always confirm that the other product is part of the 24V IONMAX system and follow that tool's battery requirements.
What About X20 Cordless Pruning Saws?
The 20V ECOSHARP X20 battery system is different from the 24V IONMAX system.
Sun Joe X20 handheld pruning saws use 20V ECOSHARP batteries and are specifically listed as not compatible with 24V IONMAX batteries or chargers.
Will My Chainsaw or Pole Saw Include a Battery + Charger?
Check the exact product configuration.
Models sold as a kit may include the battery + charger specified on the product page. For example:
- 24V-PS8-LTE — 2.0 Ah battery + charger
- 24V-PS10-LTE — 2.0 Ah battery + charger
- 24V-HCS-LTE — 2.0 Ah battery + charger
- 24V-10CS — current kit includes a 4.0 Ah battery + charger
- 24V-X2-CS16 — 2 × 2.0 Ah batteries + charger
Models identified as CT or Tool Only do not include the battery + charger when the product page specifies that they are sold separately.
