The Husqvarna 542i XP is a professional-grade battery-powered chainsaw designed to deliver performance comparable to a 40cc gas chainsaw while eliminating the noise, emissions, and maintenance associated with gasoline engines. Built for arborists, tree care professionals, landscapers, and property owners, it combines high cutting performance with the convenience of Husqvarna’s battery platform.

Equipped with a high-efficiency brushless motor and advanced power electronics, the 542i XP provides strong torque and chain speed for felling, limbing, pruning, and general tree maintenance. The saw is engineered to maintain cutting performance under load, helping users work efficiently in demanding conditions.

A lightweight, well-balanced design improves maneuverability and reduces operator fatigue during extended use. The battery-powered operation also allows the chainsaw to be used in noise-sensitive environments where gas-powered equipment may be impractical.

As part of Husqvarna’s professional battery lineup, the 542i XP is compatible with a range of backpack and handheld battery options, allowing users to tailor runtime and weight to specific applications.
