Do you have a brand you like?

No.
There are lots on the market.
I bought a Craftsman larger capacity one from Lowe's for $120 several seasons ago. 1.25" or something.
It's a bit heavy, built on a drill-type body.
2 hands for extended use.
A 3/4" capacity would be nice as a complement.
Clean cuts.
Way faster than manual secateurs or loppers.

$75 on up. $800-1200 for high quality.

If you already have batteries fir a brand, look into that brand.
I have some old m12 batteries. I would consider something like this.

Those things scare the crap out of me, for some reason.

Many good stories in that book.

I'm interested in a cord to the removeable battery as a separate part from the cutter and grip part. No need to shoulder that load in reaching positions for 200 cuts.
It's likely comparable to an 18v drill for 1 handing in a lot of awkward positions.
2 hands, less strain.
I will use my bypass loppers and seceteurs (sp? Hand pruners) a bit. Fine tooth handsaw a bit. 4" bar gta26 a bit, as a combo.

Stihl has a backpack battery for a pruner. Machinery Nation on YouTube positively reviewed it in the last month or so.

Is the forum slow for anyone else?

Yes.

Over the last two days I have made about a half cord of firewood out of mostly fallen DF limbs and standing dead cascara and oldgrowth ninebark. In other words, a zillion cuts to make twigs into firewood 
.
But this stuff is here, and needs clearing up, and is nice for quick fires in the morning or evening during the woodstove shoulder seasons. I'd have to burn it in a pile otherwise, so there you have it.
Good thing I have plenty of time
. Oh, yeah...the little bitty MS200 rear handle is the bomb for this sort of task.

Simple
Simple sawbucks are great. Cut a bunch of little stuff at once... I'm working on a design that will have all the cut wood fall into a wheelbarrow or cart.Over the last two days I have made about a half cord of firewood out of mostly fallen DF limbs and standing dead cascara and oldgrowth ninebark.

Treebuzz is worse for me
An oak firewood customer friend of mine told me that a large branch round burns longer than a split of the same size. Interesting. I could see it catching slower due to bark.Over the last two days I have made about a half cord of firewood out of mostly fallen DF limbs and standing dead cascara and oldgrowth ninebark.

Bark slows the catch of the fire. The surface area to catch flame is way lower.
Branches are/ can be dense. I've seen fir branch stubs sink in water.
We burn lots of round wood that comes off jobs with or without the chipper. I leave larger limbs for the top of a brush load in a trailer. Large limbs straps everything in.
When I get to the yard, I can buck many limbs at once in top of the brush or offload to the sawbuck for cutting later. Bucked firewood goes into a wheelbarrow to a stack...O.H.I.O.--- Only Handle It Once, as possible.
If desired, on the splitter, I can split one piece of round limbwood in half while a second round get quartered by the 4way. Good starter material to go atop kindling.
