I have a battery powered powered one that I use for trimming mesquite trees - has a 10" bar and it works just fine - very easy to operate and control

I have the Ryobi 40 volt pole saw. Love the thing. My Stihl rarely gets used any more.

I think a 12" battery one with a few spares would be great for packing in to do hiking trail work.

Have a hand held chainsaw. I use it a lot for trimming. The only problem I’ve had is the chain jumping off when I’m cutting big branches (3-4”) But then I just reinstall it. I’m probably using it too hard.

Or maybe the chain is not at proper tension?

Yup, sounds like a loose chain. The other thing to note is that chains tend to get loose when one lets them get dull and keeps trying to cut without sharpening them. A properly tensioned chain that is sharp tends to stay properly tensioned.
