If I can't find another option I came to the same conclusion. Or optionally, I can sell the extra battery and charger on eBay and recoup the price difference. I think the lithium ion charger is backwards compatible with my bootleg Ni-MH battery packs but my old Ryobi charger won't charge the Li-On batteries.
Thanks for the tip on the chain. I'm sick of struggling to start the gas chainsaw and most of the time it's overkill for what I'm doing anyway. And as I get older my shoulders want me to give the machete a rest sometimes.
ETA: These are the bootleg batteries I was referring to. They really are amazing though you have to watch out for overheating if you're drilling into lava rock etc: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06VWK...tl?ie=UTF8&psc=1&linkCode=ll1&tag=pw016-20&linkId=8cbcd1973c01bf5e6cb63fbdc8815a7d
