Is the Kimo mini chainsaw good for cutting firewood?

No. The 8-inch bar is made for branches and limbs. Cutting logs or trunks will overload it and wear the chain fast.

Does it come with a battery and charger?

Yes. It is sold as a kit with a 20V battery and charger, so you can cut as soon as it is charged.

Plan on branches up to roughly the length of the 8-inch bar. Anything thicker needs a full-size chainsaw.

Yes. The bar and chain need bar-and-chain oil and correct tension, or the chain will run hot and wear out early.

No. It uses Kimo's own 20V batteries. Other brands' packs will not fit the tool.

It is light enough for one hand, but you should still grip it with both hands where possible and wear eye and hand protection.
