Does it come with a battery and charger?

Yes. The kit includes a 20V MAX XR battery and a charger, plus an extension pole, multi-tool and sheath.

Our take on the 20V MAX XR Cordless Pole Saw Kit

The DEWALT 20V MAX XR Cordless Pole Saw Kit is a battery-powered pole saw built on DEWALT's 20V MAX XR platform. It arrives as a kit with an extension pole, a 4.0Ah battery, a charger, a multi-tool and a sheath, so it runs without a cord or gas can. The extension pole lets you reach higher limbs from the ground, which is the main reason to pick it over a standard chainsaw. It suits homeowners trimming branches and light storm cleanup. Against gas pole saws it is quieter and starts instantly, but it has less sustained cutting power for heavy work. Owners praise the convenience and reach; some complain about weight and oiling and cutting performance on thicker limbs.
