Is a 6-inch mini chainsaw enough for real yard work?

For pruning branches, saplings and brush, yes. It is not suited to felling trees or cutting thick logs; a larger bar saw is needed for that.

How long does the battery last?

Expect short runs of continuous cutting per charge. Light trimming gives more time; steady cutting drains it quickly.

Most listings include one battery and a charger. Check the box contents for your listing, since bundles vary.

It can cut small dry hardwood, but it is slow and strains the motor. Green wood and softwood cut more easily.

It is designed for one-handed light use, but kickback is still possible. Keep a firm grip and wear eye and hand protection.

It is lighter and simpler but slower and less durable. Brand saws cost more and tie into a battery platform with better parts support.
