I find the little 2-Ah batteries don't power this saw very long. What are folks using with this? 4Ah? 6 or 8?

Hi! All Bosch PTNA Tools are compatible with all Bosch PTNA lithium-ion chargers and batteries for as long as they have the same voltage (12V, 18V, or 36V). Using a battery with a higher Ah, 4.0 and up will provide a higher runtime for the tool. For further assistance, contact us at 1-877-BOSCH99 (1-877-267-2499) from Mon-Fri 7A-7P CST.

How many watts does the motor need

You must mean amps. Use the designated amps (battery) the higher the amps the longer it will run.
